If there\u2019s one thing most fur babies aren\u2019t fans of, it\u2019s nail trims. My dog absolutely refuses to let me touch hers, but somehow, at the groomer, it\u2019s no big deal. As for our cat? I wouldn\u2019t even try; she won\u2019t let us near her paws!<\/p>\n
Milo is a very opinionated cat with plenty to say about everything. His mom recently shared a TikTok rating the \u201cspiciness levels\u201d of Milo and the other cats’ (Maise and Poppy) reactions to having their nails trimmed. Make sure your sound is on for this one; the cats\u2019 reactions are absolutely hilarious!<\/p>\n
That Milo<\/a> wasn’t pitching a fit about having his nails trimmed and narrating the entire scene was so surprising! And we laughed about what Mom said in the video’s caption: “Not sure Poppy knows she exists.” She was certainly very chill on the spicy level! Commenter @B joked, “Poppy didn’t even know her nails were being trimmed!”<\/p>\n @Renee Cress suggested, “Have someone give them a special cat treat they can lick on while you\u2019re cutting their nails. My cat’s spice level went from a 10 down to 3!”<\/p>\n Related: Tired of Clawed-Up Couches?
