Weird how that’s never been the case for many of my family in the 40 years I’ve known us to keep cats.
My sister runs a vet hospital. Last time I checked the prevailing wisdom was “yeah of course you’ll have to trim them because there’s nothing inside that’ll provide the same wearing action and keep them short otherwise” but I can ask again if need be.
Where’d you hear such crazy ideas?
That’s not a crazy idea. Go ask your sis. Catss unlike dogs, have blood vessels and nerves in their nails so you can only safely trim them a few mm. A scratching post or something similar gets the job done in a safe way without trimming.
Nobody is talking about cutting the whole nail off… We’ve been saying trimming this whole time. I don’t know where you got the idea that we were advocating cutting blood vessels instead of just doing the safe bit.
He / she is an influencer or some other scum, don’t even pay attention to them.
The trimming done in the pic is already too much. And why trim at all if normal scratching is more than enough?
