Or, she'll wrestle it away from mommy and chase her around the house squirting her.

...sure, smack me like I'm the one reducing the house to a pile of shavings.
You go ahead and put band aids on the problem, show her who's boss. I can't wait until she clogs the toilet with clippers and squirt guns.

...expect her to just sit on a corner and wait for her to come along and then get her. I'll bet Claudia is all in favor of squirt guns in half measures as well.

Menace.

I have five cats now. (I know...) But they do not claw up my furniture, etc. If you simply trim the claws regularly, it removes the part of the claw that hooks into things and does the damage and reduces their desire to claw at things. They're only self trimming their nails. I trim the front and back claws.

You all laugh but this works for our cat - especially around the holidays when there are so many extra things around the house to climb & destroy! When she sees us pick up the spray bottle she runs out of the room. We don't even need to actually spray her any longer.

Vrai, I wanna come over and watch when you trim her nails. You should probably wear protective clothing and gloves.

She was very used to having her nails trimmed. He brother and sister sit calmly in my lap to have their nails done.
