Cutting to the quick.

If you cut into the quick, the claw will bleed and the cat will experience pain.

  1. Oh, everyone does that by accident sometimes. I cut MY OWN nails too low sometimes.

  2. I did that to Diffie when she was little, and now she just flips out when you try to touch her nails. I have to take her to the vet to get them trimmed because I can’t do it myself, even if I get someone to hold her.

  3. Yeah. :( I’ve never had a problem with it before; she pulled at an inopportune time. Five years of successful nail clipping, and then I botch it. We’ll see how she is next time, but I’m not hopeful now…

  4. the longer behavioral history will often outweigh the short term, just don’t approach it any differently than you always have, and all will be fine.

  5. Unless its Loki.
    Then you’re screwed.
