[@GrainneDhub-ll6vw]

It's a rough indicator of the cat's (or dog's) adrenaline level. Some cats and dogs are just picky eaters and won't eat treats even at home when everything is peaceful but most do like treats. When adrenaline levels go up, the first thing the body does is shut down appetite in preparation for fight or flight.

[@glad4music]

My cat loved what was in the tubes, but she wouldn’t eat from the tube.

[@dawnmoriarty9347]

Some cats are very busy assessing the area once the carrier is opened. A treat at that point is a distraction

[@ms.blackcat]

Tubes work great when one person gives it and the other person gives flea medicine monthly.

Just brushed my cat. From brushing her relaxed passively purring to full bloodbath meltdown. It’s a definite ⏳timer, tick, tick, tick…. 🥷🤺💣💥🌋. My brother in law tried to get her in her carrier once. He still has the scars.

[@PearlMagnolia]

​@@philippal8666I no longer use a carrier. I found a company that makes a bag that is claw proof, zips up behind the cat with a hole for the head and velcro strap to tighten the neck enough so they can't sneak a little paw out. A thousand times less stressful than the box carrier. She can look around but is safe. Has a strap so you can carry kitty like a purse. Best money I ever spent.

[@ewoksithlord286]

[@EphemeralProductions]

Once my friends daughter and I found a stray cat, and we decided to take her in. He was ok with it but a huge dirt and germ freak so he said she wasn’t coming in unless we bathed her. So we did and she tried getting out of the tub many times, screamed like we were murdering her the whole time. 😂 she drew blood on both of us both a couple times trying to get out.

I've started to clip the nails of my cat Benjamin (very large ginger tabby). Just managed to get the front ones done so far, he isn't impressed with me touching his paws. Have a lot less scratches now and I'm going to keep on top of them from now on. Also started giving him a daily groom. He's a short hair but seems to enjoy the grooming and has now started to request it in the mornings, he even rolled over and let me hold his paw out of the way to do his belly today. Baby steps but I want to get him in a routine for when he's shedding next. So far so good.

[@Lucy666Fernandez]

Maybe you can even try getting him accustomed to water, for a possible future where he might be unable to clean himself properly (as lots of cats past a certain age are)

[@KasumiRose77]

I start when they are kittens. This keeps the quicks short and they never get huge.

[@raeperonneau4941]

I had huge orange Tom’s for many years. The only way, I could get their nails done was to swaddle them in a towel. That way I could isolate one paw from all of the others. They got better over the years but they were never willing participants. 😂

[@AlishaHerbiederbie]

I got my rescue to be calm for toe trims. She knows that after we are done, however far I get on with it, she gets treats and pets and no more toe stuff for a least a few hours. She's learned this habit and is now more patient with the clippers. We've only had to go to the groomers once this year! Keep trying, don't give up.

[@melodi996]

Why now? Always teach them as kittens, most cats are not ok with clipping claws, you just need to be persistent and hold them tightly.

It just occurred to me; imagine a large mammal 10x your size and mass comes along and tries to shave your buttsholes. The fact that cats just sorta let it happen more less every time is alarming - especially considering how they react to their paws even just being touched.

I will say, I bought some tools from your site mainly with our very fearful and anxiety ridden long haired cat in mind. The tool I chose for her has been a game changer. Because it is so much more effective, my mom (the least scary of us) is more motivated to brush her more often and that prevents the matts she was plagued with and has drastically reduced the number of hairballs she has. 😺

One of the three has medium length hair - he's a beauty - but it's silky and he has NO undercoat. No matts. It's a good thing, because he loves brushing but halfway through he gets overstimulated and wants to play. Ouch.

It really is a thing! 💕 I had been exclusively a dog person and grew up in a family who didn’t like/were afraid of cats. 4 years ago I adopted an adult ragdoll and he has been teaching me s o patiently how to read him. He really is a dog-cat in that he’s just as patient and non-aggressive as any old golden retriever I’ve grown up with. No hissing, no clawing, he just whines and backs away from things he doesn’t like. I could not have been any luckier and he has absolutely made me a dog a n d cat person💕

My cat was a smaller breed, and I used to use a 2-sided mop bucket to bathe him. I came up with that from observing him hiding in tighter spaces when he felt threatened. It was nice because I could set it in the tub, put shampoo & water in one side, keep one clear for extra water to suds him up better and then transfer him to the clear side and use the handheld shower nozzle to rinse him while he was in a tighter space. He never escaped but he walked big circles around the bucket between baths 🙀

I can usually get mine if I hold him under his front legs over my shoulder while he stands on a surface (not my lap, I do this standing with a counter or dresser).
