Cat grooming and maintenance is not just limited to bathing them regularly or trimming their fur. Caring for your furry friend's paws and claws is also an important aspect of grooming and maintenance to make sure she is always happy, healthy, and safe.

The following are excellent tips that you may do to make sure that your feline friend's paws and claws stay healthy and strong:

  • Trim your cat's claws regularly to prevent overgrown nails which is a usual cause of discomfort or pain. Use proper cat nail clippers and be careful not to cut the quick (the pink part of the nail).
  • Provide your cat with a scratching post or pad to prevent them from scratching furniture or other household items. Encourage your cat to use the post by rubbing it with catnip or treats.
  • Inspect your cat's claws and paws regularly to prevent dirt and debris from building up between their toes. Use a damp cloth to gently wipe their paws, and be sure to dry them thoroughly afterward.
