How to trim the nails of North American Shorthair cats:

1. First, choose a suitable nail clipper. When cutting your cat's nails, try to use pet-specific nail clippers, which will be more convenient to use and will not damage the cat's nails.

2. Cats generally don’t like to have their nails cut. Therefore, if you want to cut your cat’s nails, you need to soothe the cat’s emotions first and choose a position that makes the cat comfortable to cut its nails. Generally, you need to put the cat on the Between your legs or on your knees.

3. Hold the cat's paw with one hand, press it gently with your fingers and press the nails out of the paw with your thumb. Use your other hand to trim the nails. Note that you only need to cut the tip of the white part of the nail, and avoid cutting the pink flesh, otherwise it will bleed.

4. If the nail bleeds after cutting it, the owner can press it with a tissue for a few minutes to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding continues, you can give the cat some Yunnan Baiyao or styptic powder.

5. After trimming the cat’s nails, play with it or reward it with snacks, so that it will have a good association with nail trimming and will not hate nail trimming in the future.
