Originally, the British Shorthair cat was in a bad mood and refused to let its owner trim its nails. However, after witnessing the "cruel treatment" of a toy chicken, the cat finally submitted. Many cat owners know that trimming their cat's nails is not an easy task. Sometimes, it can be like a battle, requiring treats, headgear, and a combination of soft and hard tactics to succeed.
Recently, a video circulated on social media in mainland China showed a cat owner in Shandong trying to trim the nails of her British Shorthair cat. During the process, the cat fiercely resisted, forcing the owner to use a "special prop" to calm it down. In the video, the owner attempted to trim the cat's nails, but the cat became extremely agitated just by seeing the nail clippers, using its paws and biting the owner's hand.
Seeing the cat's resistance, the owner decided to use a clever tactic. She took out a screaming toy chicken and "dissected" it in front of the cat, which immediately stopped resisting. Netizens found the cat's before-and-after reactions hilarious, commenting that the owner's method was effective, though not applicable to every cat. Some tried the same approach but faced even more intense resistance from their cats. If all else fails, it's advisable to seek help from professional pet groomers or veterinarians to avoid injury to both humans and cats.
