M-PETS Cat Nail Clipper, Stainless Steel Scissor Type - M

M-PETS Cat Nail Clipper is the cat clipper in the M-PETS range: a small scissor with finger loops and two curved blades, sized for a claw rather than a dog's nail.

Key Features

• Scissor type with two finger loops, rather than the plier shape the dog clippers use
• Two curved blades that close around the claw from both sides
• A Stainless Steel roundel on the card
• L 5.5 cm, which is a tool for one hand and a small claw
• An orange Recommended by Dog Groomers badge on the card - M-PETS' own mark, and printed on a cat product

Good To Know

• The quick is the living wick inside the nail. On a pale nail you can see it as a pink line; on a black one you cannot, so take thin slivers and stop when the cut face turns chalky grey.
• Have styptic powder or cornflour on the table before you start. Catching the quick bleeds impressively and a pinch of powder held against it stops the bleeding in a minute.
• Take the tip only. A cat's claw is a hook and all you are doing is blunting the point, which is enough to save the sofa and the back of your hand.
• Press the pad gently to make the claw come out, do one or two feet, and let the cat go. Nobody has ever finished all four feet of an unwilling cat in one sitting.
