    My cat's claws seem to be getting a little more 'hooky" on my clothes.  Any recommendations?  I have a scratching pad.  I don't think getting those rubber tips on is an option unless I wrap myself in kevlar.

    Get kitty nail trimmers and trim them back a bit. My daughter holds our cat as I trim. We have a scratching post, but her thumbs don't hit the post. We figure that while we are there, we just trim them all.

     I actually trim my cats nails myself. I use just a regular nail clipper - though they do have special pet ones you can order. I have been doing it since they were young, so they are somewhat used to it. But they still get squirmy. My cats never hiss or scratch, so I don't need to wrap them in a towel when I do this. However, depending on your cat's disposition, you might want to do that and only have the paw sticking out that you are working on. Also, it is important that you only trim the sharp tips. Don't cut too far down or the nails will bleed. I think the trimmers from the pet store have some type of thing that will block you from cutting too far down. I only trim their front claws. I have never needed to trim the back ones. Again, they don't love it, so expect some squirming. Just get a firm grip on the paw you are working on. If you are too nervous to do it yourself, see if your vet is open. I know mine is open with drop off service for the pet. So, perhaps they can do a nail trim there while you wait outside. I have had that done as well. There may also be some YouTube videos on this as well.

    I think Spring has finally sprung here in Southeastern Wisconsin.  Every time I get to open up the windows, Lulu takes advantage.

    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Just checked your weather. A lovely sunning day for the entire family!

    And guys, it’s all in Groucho’s eyes. The ‘stache and liner are just gravy...in my book, of course.
