The Li’l Pals claw clipper has been designed to effectively cut your kitten’s claws. The stainless steel claw cutter has a thin, sharp blade. This tool with an easy to grip handle is designed for small animals. Begin nail clipping by firmly holding your cat’s paw and the part of the nail clipper with the screw away from you. (Demonstrated in the video at 00.25, seconds) Cut the top of the claw in one stroke, making sure not to cut the part with the vein in the claw. The blood vessel can be seen more easily after applying baby oil. Remember not to cut too long in length at once. If your cat’s claws are very long, cut off a small part and wait approximately 10 days before cutting a part back.
