How can i cut my cats nails trim it but not by the blood line?

you want to get a pair of nail trimmers for cats. to trim their nails, gently press on the middle of their paw pad and it should make their claws come out. you will notice that part of the claw is white and as it gets closer to their body it turns pink/red. you do not want to cut the part that is pink. that is the quick of the nail. i would suggest just trimming them the slightest bit to start out with to make sure you are comfortable with trimming and that your cat is too. usually trimmers will come with a file too. if you cut the quick it will bleed. you can buy products that will help with the bleeding if that happens.How can i cut my cats nails trim it but not by the blood line?
You can cut them just as you would your own - the pink part is the quick which will bleed and cause pain if you cut it, the white part is the nail which has no nerves in it. It's best to get a pair of cat clippers as it makes the job easier and does it better than any human clippers.





Also, more often is better than trying to get them very short at one time.





It's much harder to do a dog's nails as they are frequently black and it is hard to see the quick.How can i cut my cats nails trim it but not by the blood line?
Get cat trimmers and trim it except not too low or you may hit its blood line=]
If you can afford it i would send it so a groomer and have thm do it...b/c it could b bad if you mess up
you can use a normal pair of clippers and if you look closely (this only works if the nails are a light color like clear or something you can see the blood line with) and you should see the line... cut below it... about ughhh I'd say half of the small width of a CD case.





Hope this helped
