Gather cat nail clippers or human nail trimmers, styptic powder, and treats
Choose a calm time when your cat is relaxed
Hold your cat gently and securely
Press a paw pad to extend one claw at a time
Identify the pink quick and avoid cutting it
Trim only the sharp tip of each nail
Clip slowly and carefully
Stop if your cat becomes stressed or agitated
Reward your cat with treats after trimming
Repeat regularly as needed
