Any tips on how to hold down your cat while you clip her nails? I got one paw and one nail on a second paw done before she just about killed me.

mr. nazi posted:How often should a cat poop? I've lived around cats growing up but never was responsible, and now that I've adopted one I'm slightly concerned because he has only pooped in the litterbox 3 times in the last week. He's definately eating, but not a lot. Maybe 1/3 cup of premium dry food a day (natural balance chicken and something). He did have a hairball that he puked up earlier today, would that cause him to not digest things he eats until he pukes it up? My cat is on Innova Evo and she poops everyday, I would say, but understand that higher quality food causes the cat to poop less. Has she been acting weird? Is she still active? If she isn't eating a lot, have you tried giving her some wet food to se if she will eat that? Wet food gives them much needed moisture, too. Also, how does her poop look when she does poop? Is it firm or really runny like she might be sick? If she is still bouncing around and is acting fine and her poop is firm, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I would recommend going and picking up some wet food to see if she'll eat that, too. If you are worried about the hairball control, you can call the vet and get a medicine that is almost like a gel that helps lubricate the hairball and pass it through the system.

The paper will still eventually dangle (if I understand you correctly) with enough hits or if they just pull from the back. I would just shut the bathroom door unless there is anything in there that the animals need to access. You could always try a different holder that did not hold the paper horizontal but vertical and move it up the wall a little.
