Random thought: scissor-style cat nail clippers
on: October 24, 2022, 10:56:34 PM
It's nigh impossible to get our current cats to submit to clipping.  Every once in a while, there's a particularly heinous claw that I want to clip while a cat is sleeping on me.  I was thinking it would be great to have a scissor-style clipper in my pocket.  Normal human-style clippers are a no-go; I've done bad things.

That is all.  Carry on.

I've had good luck trimming my cats' nails with clippers intended for humans, but I can see a pocketable cat nail clipper being handy. It wouldn't work with Beijing (my dog), though...she tends to run away when she hears the Velcro on my pants pockets separating.

If I pay five figures for something, it better have wings or a foundation!

These are the ones I use on my cat.  Pretty pocketable.

More than once I've stared at the Vic pliers and wondered how they couldn't be molded into these!
