Do you think she's put on weight since I got her?
Also, I guess after doing this, I deserved the giant bruise on my arm. (Note, these incidents were WEEKS apart though.) I was petting her in bed last week and she latched on to my arm with her claws before jumping down (unnecessary much?). When I got up and looked at it, my arm was dripping blood. I am pretty sure she got a vessel, because I put pressure on it, it stopped, it bruised, and the hole she left healed really quickly - just like when you have blood drawn. :-( Anyone have tips on cutting your b*&%chy cat's claws?
Like how I'm just posting a bunch all at once? :-)

Hmmm... I've never cut a cat's claws. The best guess I have is to throw her on the curtains and then pull her down quickly. I'm pretty sure there is an easier and more humane way to do it though.
It's a lot easier to clip kitty claws if you can get someone else to hold the kitty. It's best of they hold the cat over their shoulder like a baby. Then you take one paw at a time, press down in the middle pad to extend the claws, and clip off just the sharp tips. It's not too hard once you get the hang of it. A lot easier than giving a cat a pill.
Ron, I don't think my curtains are sturdy enough to withstand that method.
Spark, she goes after your hand the second you touch a paw. :-( In the winter I resorted to wearing heavy sweatshirts she couldn't get through and putting her in a headlock.
