Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005Oh dear.... Purrs needed
I managed to grab Imp to clip his claws and give him a good brushing. He didn't like being held for the the clipping, and i accidentally cut the tip of his pad on one toe. Oh dear!! Then he did the same thing on another tor on the other front foot. It was a mixture of him struggling and me trying to hold him still and bad luck. I feel really bad, and it wasn't bleeding too badly. I put on some neosporin and the bleeding pretty much stopped, but i know Imp is really mad at me now. I feel bad, I wasn't trying to hurt him, He's probably licking his paws right now. I told Kristen and we're going to keep a close eye on him to make sure they dont' get infected. The poor boy!! I don't want to have to take him to work to get his paws bandaged!! Purrs that Imp is okay and his paws don't get infected. Kristi Purrs for imp, and also for you.

Owie! Purrs for a clean heal. Maybe a nice extra treat for his booboo? Awww, poor Imp. But I'm sure he'll be fine. I once accidentally cut into the quick while trimming Vino's claws. He was not a happy camper but got over it too.

If you do it regularly, and treats are offered immediately on finishing, he's more likely to get used to having claws clipped (Maluce still growls a little, Rowdy just uses his 19# weight to kick mightily). The good side is cats have very short memories for this kind of hurt from the slaves they love. > Awww, poor Imp. But I'm sure he'll be fine.

He doesn't struggle at all, never meows, never complains. In fact, he holds his paws out for me to clip! But this incident happened in the beginning and I had gotten new clippers and was holding them awkwardly and my hand was covering up my view. But he did forgive me pretty quickly :-) -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > I managed to grab Imp to clip his claws and give him a good brushing. > He didn't like being held for the the clipping, and i accidentally cut > the tip of his pad on one toe.

Jill He seemed to have forgiven me this morning, when he came for scritches, and he's not limping, but he freaked when I picked him up to check his paws. They seem to be healing fine, but now he's a little freaked again. *sigh* at least it seems like he's okay Now I can concentrate on my finals today Kristi > He seemed to have forgiven me this morning, when he came for > scritches, and he's not limping, but he freaked when I picked him up [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Kristi I'm glad Imp is okay. Continued purrs :) I so do not envy you this studying thing. People ask me if I'd consider going back to school. Oh h*** no! I don't have the energy nor inclination; been out of school for 25 years. I applaud your stamina (but of course you are much younger than I am). Jill I've never clipped Otis's claws, didn't realise you were supposed to, don't know anyone here in London that does it either, and he's almost 16 so it doesn't seem to have done him any harm (the furniture on the other hand...) > Purrs that Imp is okay and his paws don't get infected.

Many purrs. :o) I can't help thinking that Imp and HRFL are out of the same mold. He gets wound up and wriggly when his claws are clipped.

I think that's probably happened to most of us here. Purrs on the way, but I'm sure he'll be fine! Hugs, CatNipped > Kristi Purrs for his pads and purrs for you too. I'm sure you would have rather cut yourself than Imp. -- Regards and Purrs, O J Awww, poor Imp. I'll light a healing candle on the beach in hopes that it helps the little paws to heal quickly and without infection.
