What happens if you don't clip a indoors cats nails for a long time?Is it bad?

Since it is such a hassle to.What happens if you don't clip a indoors cats nails for a long time?Is it bad?
Hrmmm, well, lets take into consideration your cats comfort, I guess if you're not concerned with that, and you obviously aren't, then don't worry about it, but if you are worried about it, which I doubt, then yes, it can be bad, it can get very uncomfortable for your cat to walk around, and he or she will start scratching up your furniture in some vain attempt to keep his or her claws from becomming so uncomfortably long that he or she just doesn't even feel like walking around again.....How would you feel if we just decided as a whole together that we no longer wanted you to trim your toe nails....ever again, since it takes up so much of your time....how do you think that would affect you??What happens if you don't clip a indoors cats nails for a long time?Is it bad?
Usually cats do the trimming on their own by scratching on things. You might want to get a scratching post or something if you dont want your walls or carpet torn up. Sometimes cat's nails do get a little long though and you may want to take time to trim them every now and then. We had to trim my cat's nails because when we would play with them they would scratch us bad enough to break skin. You dont have to do it every time their nails get a little long but maybe once every two or three months would be fine. Hope i could help :]
No, it isn't bad as long as they have a natural way of sharpening their claws (I am not talking about the furniture!). What will happen is that it will be harder to cut their nails if you try again because they are not use to it. I have plenty of scratch pads (cardboard boxes work fine) for my indoor American Bobtails and they are fine. Nice long nails.
I think the greatest ';danger'; comes from the nail on the dew claw (where your thumbs would be). It's a hard one for me to get. It is the one most likely to grow into the tissue of the paw.
They will grow long and start on any pice ofit tink it such do chouch chair ect..you can sieve that cover thier claw but declawing is bot what pperpiared it takes away their defrwnce aless you want you cat indoors all the time I woukd recommen declawing your vat it likew someonr coming and takin a nailo off you finger toe have that done then you will know ho wthe catb feels
Cats claws grow in an arc shape. If they aren't clipped or exercised down regularly, the arc will continue to grow %26amp; eventually go ';full circle';, leaving a sharp point pushing back into their paw pads as they walk....This is bad %26amp; you're cat won't be happy.
They can sometimes become ingrown into the pads. Provide your cat with scratching posts, and ask the vet to trim them when you go for check ups and vaccines. If possible have another person help you to do it. Wrap your kitty snuggly in a thick towel and just pull out one foot at a time. One person holds kitty, the other cuts. Less of a hassle that way
I clip my cats nails every two weeks even though its a hassle. he gets mad and hides afterwards but he doesnt claw the furniture or me or the kids. If you do research you will find they need a scratching post but these are for cleaning, not trimming or sharpening.he may hate the trim but will love the way they feel after its finished. Vets will usually do it free if you pay for an office visit to have them checked anyway
I understand. Sometimes its tough getting the cat to stay still while you clip all those nails. My answer to your question is that as long as you check on the nails frequently to make sure that the nails are NOT growing into the pads of their feet then no you don't have to cut their nails. All cats will wear down their nails to a certain degree from climbing trees or using a scratching post or even just walking on hard surfaces. Most cats who have nails grow into their pads have the dewclaw grown and the other nails fine. So just keep an eye on it!
If they are not scratching anything, ie behaving well, there is no need to.


Give him a sisal scratching poost, that is his natural way of keeping them short. They don't grow embedded unless you don't do that.


And the dewclaw doesn't even grow at the same rate.


Cats come with claws. It's purrfectly natural.
I rarely if ever clip my cats' nails. I only do so if I'm going to take them to the vet, so they have less of a chance of clawing the workers to bits.





Train your cat to use a scratching post, if you don't want them clawing your furniture. They need to claw things, though, it will help keep the claws from getting overlong.
I never cut my cats either, they will use something in your house to keep them down. I just never think about it with her.


I understand though that some cats can be total jerks about their nail trims, but for less of a hassle, just lay it on it's back on your lap, preferrbly after a good meal, and push the pads and clip. My cat doesn't even to seem to care when I do hers.


You deserve to have a cat.
it will scratch funiture
It's a ';hassle';? If you don't trim a cat's claws they can grow so long that they imbed into the cat's paw pads. Or they can get caught up on something and rip out of the cat's paw - resulting in a LOT of pain and a very ';hassling'; trip to the vet.





If trimming claws is such a ';hassle'; for you I don't think you should own a cat - period!! You don't deserve one!!!
Why are you clipping your cat's claws? If you are trying to protect your furniture and you begin clipping your cat's claws then you may need to keep it up continuously.





Cats use the sharp curve of their claws and a good scratching post (one where they can get their claws dug into) to pull the old sheaths off of their front claws. If you look around a well used scratching post, you can often find old claw sheaths either around the base or in the post itself. You have to look hard as they are usually small and translucent.





Cats chew their back sheaths off.





If they have blunt claws on the front, they can't grab the post (or your furniture) so the claws can continue to grow and can become ingrown. If you cut just the hooked tip off then the sheath may come off anyway and the new nail is as it would be normally.





Older cats, obese cats and sick cats might have trouble scratching their front sheaths off or reaching their back paws. Sometimes nails grown in oddly and may need help there as well.
Cats were born with claws, they weren't born to be declawed. They can get ingrown nails, just as humans can, it just depends on the cat. If it's not digging into everything around the house, then it's just your call. Most people do it because of furniture, etc.
well, sure, it can be a hassle sometimes to wrestle your cat down %26amp; risk the potential shredding of your arms if you're not quick about it, but for your cat's sake it's worth the effort %26amp; time. their nails (although are not very likely to wrap around and grow into the footpad) will often grow long enough to catch on many things and possibly rip off the toe, causing much pain and bleeding and all sorts of nasty unpleasantries.





if doing it yourself causes you anguish, maybe you could consider making a quick trip to a local groomer or your vet? they're more than happy to do that for you, and it will be less hassle all around. (not to mention that it's someone else's arms at risk...)

  • Do you kno anything about fake nails is it good or bad?

    i really dont kno because my friend thinks its good but my cousin thinks its badDo you kno anything about fake nails is it good or bad?
    I like them and nail enamel grows backDo you kno anything about fake nails is it good or bad?
    they look amazing and its so nice not to have to do ur nails afterwards..


    but after they come off they make ur nails look like u put super glue on them... which the people will.


    it takes forever to get them back to normal..


    i had mine done right before Christmas and i'm still waiting for them to grow out enough that the ugly rivets and dents are gone.
    Some of them look ok if they look real but the fake ugly long cheap pink looking ones i cant stand.


    I only wore fake nails once it just didnt feel natural so i took them off with something like polish remover.


    I didnt tell a different in my nails from before to after they are still in the same health.


    I think nail polish is cuter anyways especially when you are young
    Well, to be completely honest, fake nails aren't the best thing for your nails because they slowly but surely thin your natural nails underneath with repeated use. This thinning can lead to cracking and tearing, which could be a tad bit painful.


    But don't let this steer you away from fake nails! If you use them, try to get them done professionally, and in between nail-do's moisturize them with oil.
    They can rub against your cuticles and such, and look a little tacky when done wrong.


    But these days they make some good looking ones that don't tear up your enamel. The rounded and not pointy ones look best. Nobody has pointy or square bright red nails. but,


    The shorter you wear them, the less damage they do.


    They have a tendancy to mold if you wear them forever--this has never happened to me personally, but I've heard horror stories.
    i'd not waste your money on the fake nails and just use your ones
    There are several ups and downs. Some of the downs: Fake nails are hard to deal with and take a long time to get used to. Also, if they fall off, it hurts to rip off the others so your nails look even. Not to mention glue bits stay behind. Some of the ups: They make your nails grow, and kind of give them a ';track';, so they grow straighter. And they look cool. XP You way the ups and downs.
    bad


    they rip off your nail enamel
    Well I'll tell you this much:





    When they get ripped off, if hurts...A LOT.

    I bit my nail down too far IT HURTS!?

    my thumb nail i bit it down to far...i did it yesterday morning..and its throbbing and it hurts to the touch...is there anything to soothe the pain????I bit my nail down too far IT HURTS!?
    A couple of days, and leave it alone!I bit my nail down too far IT HURTS!?
    There is some stuff you can put on your nails that is very bitter, mainly as a reminder of what you are doing, so, that if you want to stop, this would alert you that you are doing it again.
    neosporin gives some pain relief. try not to bite your nails, it ruins your teeth.
    band-aid
    I'm not sure what to put to relieve pain now.





    But to help stop biting, put some disgusting smelling perfume or anything there to stop you from biting.

    About how much does it cost to get acrylic nails at a decent salon?

    and does anyone kno a good place near portsmouth, nh?About how much does it cost to get acrylic nails at a decent salon?

    Is it gross not to have nail polish on?

    For teenagers.Is it gross not to have nail polish on?
    No.Is it gross not to have nail polish on?
    No, as long as your fingernails are neatly manicured, it is not gross. Make sure your cuticles look healthy and you don't have hangnails, that sort of thing.





    Having nail polish on just to have it on doesn't always look good. If you let it go and some of it is chipped off, you might as well just have nothing on.





    A shiny, clear coat can look nice.
    No because i dont like wearing it on my fingernails but i have to wear it on my toenails it's just me ..my fingernails are long i just put fake nails on my fingernails because they grow faster like that.
    no it's actually more trashy to have it on sometimes.

    Is it ok for a dude to wear eyeliner/ nail paint *all black*?

    ya, like im pretty emo, ppl tell me that.


    and so i was wondering if its like ';bad'; or ';gay'; if i sometimes wear like eyeliner or nail paint.Is it ok for a dude to wear eyeliner/ nail paint *all black*?
    No way, if it's your thing, roll with it.





    I hate it that make-up is limited to girls most of the time, and it's great you're bridgeing the gap!





    Girls get to use make up to cover pimples, puffy eyes etc. but if a guy is seen patting on a concealer, he'll have hell to pay!





    If you can wear it well, and make it your own, go for it. I think eyeliner and black nails are rad.Is it ok for a dude to wear eyeliner/ nail paint *all black*?
    Theres nothing wrong with it at all. I think it's pretty awesome myself.
    Well typically ';emos'; do not really care what other people think about them, but really you can where whatever you want. Fashion, make-up and accesories are a way people can express themselves. If some people can't handle watching other people express themselves, that clearly shows a lot about their character. I'm not ';emo'; and I paint my nails black probably 9/10 times that I paint them. I could care less what people think, you shouldn't either!
    it wld be perfectly normal if you're a performer.


    but if i see you like that walking alone on the streets....


    well, i wun think you're gay


    but i'll label you as a wannabe and i dont mix with wannabes....
    First thing I would think if I saw you was gay. Unless you are in a band and/or performing don't do it.
    now i think its kk is u are in a rock band but its still kinda weird even then! cuz it looks hott on billie joe armstrong but nt for everyday wear like a girl!
    I agree with your 1st. answer.
    As long as its to a rock concert, it's ok. But otherwise, it is gay. NOT that there's anything wrong with that. It just is.
    if you are in a rock band, that's normal. otherwise, it looks gay or very gothic
    Okay it can look a tad gothic, but hey go for it!!! I think it looks great, Brandon from the Killers wears it and he looks fab, not gay in the slightest!


    Don't bother what anyone else thinks, if you like it - wear it!!!!


    Have fun :)
    Yes it is ok, I find that to be very attractive....who gives a **** what people may think of you, its your life and if you want to wear black eyeliner and nailpolish, go for it. Its your style, and the more true and real you are to yourself the better :)
    1. Black nail polish= Emo dude


    2. Eyeliner= Are you going to a costume party?


    3. Both= Seasoned gothic guy


    4. Purple outfit to go with 1 and 2= Gay gothic guy! (wow. alliteration.)





    So, whatever floats your boat. But I wouldn't. I'm too self-conscious. Except for the nail polish- I layer my black with white.
    nowadays.. anything can...


    my young cousin does. he is not into rock. he is not gay.


    i guess it is just ';fashionable';for youngsters these days...
    dude, don't worry about other people you live your life the way you want too.
    its cool if ur in a rock band for like billie joe armstrong. its ok for like once in a while but if u wear it everyday like girls do thats kinda weird. but u can do whatever u wanna do
    To each his own... don't be surprised if people don't approve though. And depending on where you live, I wouldn't be surprised if there are haters that would actually beat you up for wearing that.





    Do whatever you want. Just realize that every action has and gets a reaction from people. You just have to not show that other people's opinions or insults bother you.
    yes, ';guyliner'; is very in now. trendy
    i know a lot of straight ';emo'; guys that wear eyeliner. but everytime i see a stranger with it, the first thing i think is, ';hmmm, i wonder if he's gay?';. it really depends on what you look like though to be honest. some guys can pull off that look, but others cant. as long as you wear it with confidence and dont feel weird in it, then do it. it's hot on some guys!
