Nobody is talking about cutting the whole nail off... We've been saying trimming this whole time. I don't know where you got the idea that we were advocating cutting blood vessels instead of just doing the safe bit.
He / she is an influencer or some other scum, don't even pay attention to them.
"Don't feed the trolls" is a Golden rule of the internet, However, providing well sourced and constructed counter arguments can be good for anyone else following the chain
So they don't hear only the crazies talking
The trimming done in the pic is already too much. And why trim at all if normal scratching is more than enough?
The trimming in the pic is perfect. You can clearly see the quick (the opaque bit of the nail (in the shape of a triangle), before the nail starts curling) is about 1 or 2 mm away from the edge
If the quick was cut, there'd be blood, and a very pissed cat
I've got tons of cat scratchers, the ones that are very tall, so the cat can get a full stretch, and have a wide base, so they don't fall over
And 2 of my 3 cats still need nail trimmings about every 3-4 weeks. Otherwise their nails get stuck on things, or they claw me to death by accident since their nails are so long, they don't fully retract
My dog's nails, I have the vet handle, because I cannot trim black nails without hitting the quick
Edit: here's a link to the scratching post I use and recommend
