[@deborahwallace1847]

I have an older cat, I adopted who was never groomed. 🙀im a “crazy cat lady, too.”and have never been able to trim her nails! your table method is gold! I'm going to try.

I don't think this cat qualifies as an unfriendly cat for nail trimming.

You make it look so easy! My cat won't even sit in my lap without protest. She's a prima donna. Great video, though, I will need to work on my cat's temperament for this.

You dont “work” on your cats temperament. Your cat is like it is. Better to search for a way that is comfy for your cat. Dont put the cat in your lap when it doesnt want to.

[@ElayaHell]

sit on lap? What is that? Took us 1 yr 1 month and 11 days just to get her to sleep on my boobs! I will keep trying

[@maryascontacts4506]

Love your no-restraint approach with practical tips for not dying in the process. Thanks!!

[@shwetas1764]

I use stealth mode...trim while kitty sleeps

[@creatively_random9761]

Me and my mom used to do that but hes gotten older now and smarter

[@JaneDoe-ip5yl]

I get 2 or 3 nails trimmed before cat wakes up and the fight begins.😖

[@orviskid]

Yah that doesn’t work either. 2 clips and shes up.

[@julialawrence5650]

orviskid I can’t even get one clip when she’s in deep sleep :(

[@MichaelAgee]

My wife and I really were surprised how informative as well as so funny. You really made me laugh out loud with the "drink" comment. Also I thought the suggestion to start touching their paws so they get desensitized. I guess my cat could join me in beer as an alternate means of desensitizing. Great Job. We bet you are a lot of fun and you probably have lots of friends. Mickey and Sophia

[@ranaamir-cl8kl]

what a heartwarming comment , may god bless both of you and your wife i can tell you have a happy family

[@lisamrunzo6135]

We did it!! Thank you! Our 20-year old cat could barely walk - he’s never had to have claws trimmed b/c he spent time outside, but as he’s aged, he doesn’t want to go out anymore. His claws were out of control. We were shocked, but he actually let us just pet him and trim the nails (it did take two people for the living and the trimming). And the beer def helped! Thanks so much!! 🎉🥳

DANG girl!! You are AMAZING!! Your feed was AI timely! Thank you 💖

[@utawkinterme9428]

I don't believe you have no friends, you are brilliant! Hilarious yet matter of fact approach certainly won me over. Love to you and your cats!

The most realistic cat nail trimming I’ve seen yet! Thanks Liz!!!

[@carolinecain6923]

Thank you!! I used your tip for the difficult cat with the treats and this was the first time I’ve ever been able to cut my cats nails! She will hardly even let me pet her so this was a big help!

[@kayguerrero2308]

Caroline Cain, you talked me into trying nail cutting with treats. (Tried it without treats, and kitty won't come near me when she hears me lay the nail clippers down, and I tried to be real quiet too. Kitty's hearing is excellent.).

[@Cheryl-ke4pp]

Well I tried. Results- cat treats consumed= a butt load. Nails clipped= zero. Cute video though! Am 10 years sober so I had to skip the alcohol. May have to go back to drinking. LOL

[@robinlewis3958]

Cheryl I agree. No way to trim our cats with wrapping then like a burrito.

[@amandaramalho6609]

Lmfao I'm over 5 years clean and sober so i just cracked a red bull still can't do it. Only time I can ever sneak some clips in if when my baby is on her cat tree and her paws are dangling lmao but even then it's hard cos I have to trick her haha

[@catsschannel]

I musta did something wrong because I died ;(

i tried this and my cat just bites my hands when i grab his paws and then when i tried to get him sit on my lap he just sticks his claws onto my legs and jumps away

[@piscesmystic313]

My cat is still in the kitten ages she’s 8 months old and she doesn’t like nail trimming AT ALL but I tried the technique you used for Smirnoff and was able to trim all toes except one in one sitting this time! Normally I can only get 1 or 2 at a time! Thank you for your video I am now more excited and optimistic about the nail trimming process!!

[@Crackpot_Astronaut]

This is exactly what I needed. I'm only 1 1/2 tall cans in, trying to figure out the best way to tackle this monumental task for the first time. Finally a video that knows where I'm coming from 😆 Cheers!

"Step 1: Drink. This will help boost your self-esteem, and minimize the pain". That is when I realized I could actually trust the upcoming advice. Acknowledgement of the pain trimming cat nails and the subsequent decrease in self-esteem that follows from getting beat up by a cat

You're amazing! Go cat ladies ! ❤️

[@katieg970]

Great video! My cat is awful getting her nails trimmed and a trip to the vet today thinking they could handle it just made it 10x worse so now I'm determined to gain her trust back and do it myself. Under the table! Genius! At the moment I'm just giving treats and touching her paws calmly, squeezing out the claws. Hopefully a few days of that I can do my first trim myself :) just need to get some wine beforehand.....

[@KimS-ud9hm]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Liz!! I cut my rescue’s nails for the first time following your guide and I got 3 out of 4 feet done but the 4th was a back and like you said they weren’t as bad. It only took an open can of tuna. He only got pieces but the open can was in front of him as an incentive and it worked like a charm! 🥳👏🏻

[@K-Yune]

First inside cat (all my other cats were in childhood in a tiny countryside town) so I have been searching a billion videos for nail trims. My 10 day adoptee 13month old is a sweet goofball but squirmy when I trimmed dewclaws. So these were some great tips and hilarious to watch. 😂

[@AidinZolghadr]

Omg you're the cutest I've seen in YEARS

[@allisonshaw4606]

Great tutorial! I just trimmed my 4 year old cats nails for the first time successfully. We had a frank conversation about it’s me or the vet. Pick your poison. The desensitization thing can help at any age! When she’s feeling snuggly I touch her paws and after all this time she still hates it but knows I’m not a threat 🙂🤓

You are such a treat. I love watching you with your cats. I am learning how to do my cat's nails, and I'm having a rough go of it. I saw one video where they suggested the burrito method, and I decided my cat wouldn't appreciate it, so I aint doing that. I will try to be more patient, and will definitely try your method. Thanks so much. Jojo from Mississauga Ontario Canada.

[@cjschepers9610]

Ha, my blackcat Sabrina runs as soon as she sees the clippers. I used to clip a few at a time while she was napping. But she's been on high-alert for months now. Any ideas? She's very skittish.

[@Moon_Thief_420]

This was phenomenal!!! 😹 I'm getting ready to trim both my and my kids' cats' nails, a feat which I've never attempted. Since my big boy (Indiana) has accidentally scratched his face up a bit with his hind paws, it felt about time. Although my mom gave me a quick tutorial, I wanted to double check that I'd be doing it correctly. Thanks for the tips, humor, and knowledge. I feel better already about chasing down some kitty toes!

[@jonatan_s]

My cat kept running away so I had to wrap him in a towel and when I did that he settled down, he allowed me to cut the first 7 nails on his front paws but when down to the last 3 he started to cry but not freaking out or squirming so I still managed to finish. He's a fluffy cat so his nails are hidden under it all, making it a little harder to locate them. After the first 10 nails I gave him a break with treats, toys, and lots of kisses and hugs. When I wanted to continue onto his back legs he only allowed 2 and then started freaking out again and running away. I gave up after that. Thankfully this video reassures me that I'm taking all the right steps and to simply continue the process and he'll (hopefully) grow more comfortable overtime. He's only 11 weeks old, been touching his paws a lot since the day I got him so thankfully that helped with this process a little. Crossing my fingers that with age he's let me clip all 20. Kinda getting tired of him scratching the unholy hell out of my legs whenever he wants to jump up onto my lap haha.

[@cosmo9362]

Thanks for video. I would recommend having a clotting agent on hand in case a vein gets nicked, especially for squirming kitties 😻

[@nwgguy1070]

Great tips for many cats, I'm sure. With our "Pepper" cat (part Savannah, part Maine Coon and more), as I *gently* press to extend her claw, the INSTANT the nail trimmer comes in contact with the claw, she goes BALLISTIC! She looks similar to your cat in the video, very sweet most of the time. MUCH more aggressive when it's claw trimming time. Will try the treats/ under the table trick next. Pepper does love to play when I tease her, without using the scalpels (aka claws). Desensitize? Not a chance. I've done that since she was a kitten. Still no joy. Just much caution. As "onlyoatmeal" mentioned: "Came for the title, stayed for the personality and tips!" Same here! Really enjoyed your video! My wife has a t-shirt which aptly reads: "I love my cats, and maybe three other people." I'm fortunate I'm one of the three others (I think).

[@sagaedling195]

Maybe it’d be appropriate with a vet visit? I don’t doubt some cats are just not gonna tolerate it because of their personality, but in your case I’d probably see a vet to make sure the issue isn’t that she’s hurting in some way and that being the reason she freaks out whenever you touch her claws.
