Highlights: Cat owners reveal their personal trick on how to keep the house cat calm when cutting its claws. A couple from Singapore shows how it should be relatively easy. On the head of Peaches is a damp paper handkerchief. Daring users suspect a mystical symbol behind it. This is because a cloth on the head is supposed to keep demons away or interrupt the signals that a demon could send. It is probably more likely that the cat is simply so distracted by this that it remains still for some time.

Distraction is everything: In a TikTok video, cat owners reveal their personal trick on how to keep the house cat calm when cutting its claws. And it has nothing to do with food.

Cutting a cat's claws is usually not necessary. Because these wear out almost by themselves through daily use. To do this, the velvet paws sharpen them on tree bark or even on the scratching post. Some of them simply use upholstered furniture or wallpaper for this. Which does not necessarily add to the delight of the owners. That is why it is advisable to provide indoor cats and outdoor cats with various scratching posts or scratching boards.

But there are also cases when the claws should be shortened by the owner or the veterinarian. For example, because the cat is older, suffers from an illness or simply does not make use of its whipping facilities.
