Does the emery cat scratcher work ?
I've seen ads on TV for the Emery Cat Scratcher - which is suppose to trim cats claws. Does anyone have any experience with this product? I want to make sure that it is both safe and effective before I get it for my cat who hates to have his nails cut.
Answer:
Please do not waste your money on this product.
Someone gave my 3 cats Emery Cat for Christmas. They did not use it.
Then I learned that cats can be injured by getting their claws stuck in the holes so I am glad they never even tried it.
You can get your cat used to having his nails cut. It might take quite a while but if you take it very slowly you'll succeed.
At a time when both you and the cat are happy and relaxed (cats can read our body language so you can't fake it) try giving your cat whatever his favorite "lovies" is such as a nice neck scratchy.
While doing so gently and briefly touch one or two of his feet. That's it. Get him used to having his feet touched when happy. Several times.
Once he doesn't mind that, try pressing (briefly and gently) to extend his claws. Don't clip. Only get him used to that and have him associate it with having a pleasant time.
When you can do that you can try clipping only the tip of one claw. Reward the cat with lovies or a favorite treat. That's it for the 1st session.
Next day, do it again.
Following day, do the tips of 2 claws.
And so on. It could take a couple of months. If you are persistent and very patient you can definitely get your cat accustomed to having his nails cut.
