The Bexhill Cat Nurse

Playing with our cats helps replicate their normal hunting behaviours and can reduce stress. I had a lot of fun with these two when popping in to feed them recently whilst their human companion was on holiday. ☺️ 🐾

Generally cats do not need their claws clipping.

They naturally maintain them by scratching.

It is important to provide them with opportunities to do this so that they can shed the old claw husks and exercise their front legs.

Sharp claws are also needed for climbing, playing, hunting and defence.

However, as cats age and are less mobile they may be less able to scratch as easily, often due to painful arthritic joints.

Claws then overgrow, get caught in soft furnishings or even grow into pads.
This can be painful and can lead to infection.

This is handsome Hugo. It was my pleasure to visit him at home today to clip his claws. Like many senior cats, he was quite stiff and initially not happy to have his feet/legs touched so I used my feline friendly techniques to make the process as stress free as possible and we soon made friends!

I was also able to clip out some of the matts in his fur.
Hugo should now feel much more comfortable.

I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse with a special interest in everything Feline. I understand that cats are very territorial and prefer to remain in their own homes/gardens. I offer an un-rushed, calm cat feeding service, including medicating (under vet direction), so that you can be confident your cat is well cared for whilst you are away. I am also able to visit your home to offer stress free claw clips, help with tips on medicating and tick removal. I am insured and can offer references.
