Hey guys! So today, I thought we would make a video show ing how we trim her cat's nails because they're pretty good..
-
..now even though they didn't used to be. I'm pretty sure a couple years ago
-
I tweeted a picture of Haku where I like burrito rolled him up into a blanket so that I could trim his nail..
-
..and this is how we have to trim our cat's nails!
-
But we don't have to do that anymore. They've gotten pretty used to it.
-
I think one of the things that changed was they've all grown up a little bit.
-
So back then, Haku is a little kitten and kittens..
-
..don't ever want to sit still you know. They-- Aww...
-
He's had enough. Okay. You could sit like this for a minute. Hey, buddy.
-
( Rachel laughs )
-
Kittens don't ever want to sit still. They don't ever want to be picked up or held. So, that's always an issue..
-
..with kittens. But as I've gotten older, they've gotten a little bit better and..
-
..me just handling them. And the second thing is..
-
..we've learned how to hold our cats to trim their nails easily, which is..
-
..basically sitting them on our lap like this. You sit them on your lap like this, and then you take clippers.
-
You can buy cat clippers. I just use regular nail clippers. We had cat clippers, but I like this better.
-
I think all that matters is that it's a clipper that cuts quickly because cats..
-
..are not huge fans. So if I support his paw and then I grab one of his little digits here..
-
..and I press gently on it, his nails will come out so that I can--- grab them.
-
And trim them. This is about two weeks worth of nail growth.
-
For him, usually I tried to trim their nails.
-
Usually I try to trim their nails every two ish weeks because if we don't trim their nails, then..
-
..THEY SCRATCH US and they destroy our stuff.
-
Usually I can tell they're getting along when they accidentally scratch us and it really hurts.
-
( Rachel laughs )
-
So look you could see the length of this nail. He's due, you due for nail clipping, buddy!
-
So you just want to get in and you want a clip, but leave a fair amount of space between..
-
..away from the pink part. You just don't ever want to touch the pink part because that's what hurts..
-
..them. So if you get close to that then they might hate it, and then they'll be really really over to ever getting their nails..
-
(CLICK)
-
..trimmed.
-
Thank you, buddy. He's giving me bath!
-
Cats on their front paws also have their little thumb way back here, so don't forget about their little thumb~
-
BOY
-
Give me a minute boy!
-
He's been so good!
-
You're being such a good boy!
-
And honestly, we just don't have any issues anymore.
-
I've tried giving them treats in the past.
-
I only did it like once or twice when I was trying to get them used to this way of nail clipping and..
-
..don't even have to give them treats anymore. They just..
-
..mostly - They just understand this is a thing they have to go through.
-
(Rachel laughs)
-
Good job!
-
Good job, buddy!
-
You did such a good job!
-
Jun: Until we started filming, We held Poki for a while, so he was little bit impatient, but he normally is better than this.
-
Rachel: Aw, he's doing good too! Come on little baby~
-
I think I trimmed his nails more recently. So, it just might not be that long. Look at this tail. You make it so difficult, baby!
-
Yeah. His nails, I turned a little more recently. But I can trim them...
-
Yeah! Hi sweetie!
-
Jun : His fur is too long. I can see his nail - I can't.
-
Yes He's too fluffy. Too much hair! Rachel : You're gonna rest your head on my hand. Oh, now he's doing it.
-
Nagi's just a little sweetheart, and he rests his head on my arm while I do this.
-
Did I take this paw yet?
-
You're just such a sweet little ball of fur.
-
Nagi~~ You're so precious!
-
I know. I know you don't... I know. Hang on
-
Almost done~~
-
Now I just got do you little pinkies!
-
Good job!
-
Good job, baby!
-
And now it's Haku's turn. I've also found it's easier to trim their nails if they're sleepy because you could trick them..
-
( Rachel laughs )
-
..they don't know what's going on yet!
-
You're so heavy!
-
Waaaaahh! (Jun laughs)
-
Hi big boy! You big buddy!
-
Awww
-
His nails aren't quite as long yet either.
-
(Haku : Pls let go of me)
-
(Jun laughs)
-
I know you don't like it...
-
You're such a good boy, Haku! You've been such a good boy!
-
Aren't they so good?
-
Haku seems sleepy (Jun laughs)
-
Good job!
-
Good job, buddy!
-
Good job!
-
Now he doesn't care. Now he's just sleepy.
-
You go back to sleep, baby
-
Yeah, you did a good job. See? So, they all be pretty good.
-
Jun : How are you feeling, buddy?
-
Rachel: His fur is just... oh, oh my god look at this.... everywhere now...
-
I just brushed you. I've spent all morning brushing you. I brushed you so much! What is going on?!
-
Jun : It just keeps happening, until he's done shedding... which doesn't happen.
-
Rachel: You don't wanna move? Are you good? Just like this?
-
Jun : ( Calling Nagi ) Nagi!
-
Rachel : So, this is how we trim our cat's nails!
-
I think it's a pretty good method. You can also give them treats every time you clip a nail.
-
Just make sure you don't clip anywhere close to the pink part because that's what..
-
..huts them, and then they really hate it after that.
-
Jun : I think they're doing great now.
-
You guys are doing so good, buddy!
-
Jun : It used to be like crazy... about it. They hated us so bad.
-
Rachel : Well, they were little kitties too. They're crazy about everything.
-
(Jun laughs)
