Tortie Mani-No-Pedi Thursday

May 2, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat43 Comments

She is obsessive about her manicures

Binga hates having her claws trimmed, but she will spend an excessive amount of time grooming them herself.

Maybe she likes the way they taste

You would think she had the best manicure in town with all the work she puts into it.

That is, if you like the taste of World's Best Lavender Scented Cat Litter

But trust me… those claws are still plenty dirty!

    I think it shows that her claws are very personal to her.

    I don’t mind getting pawdicures. Mom has lots of practice and she’s pretty quick at it. But I have to be in the mood.

    NO ONE but me touches my toes. The only mani-pedi I ever had was when they GASSED me last summer before my tutoring. Good luck to anyone that tries it while I am conscious.

    We are willing to bet they are pretty sharp! Maybe a little cat scratch fever will be coming soon to anyone who crosses her.

    We don’t mind our mani/pedi spa days. Even Cousin Trooper lets our Mom do his.

    BTW….a BIG BOX came to our house today! Mom says we can’t open it yet because it was a rainy day and she wants good pics.
    We say booo on the flashy box!

    We think the clawing is better when you lick your paws first 😉
    We do not like clipping sessions either!!

    Moosey is okay with having his claws trimmed. Sammy was, too. 🙂

    Thank you, dear pals, for your kind and thoughtful comments when it was time for our Sammy to leave for the Bridge. We truly are lucky to have such wonderful and supportive friends.

    Big hugs,

    Kevin, Tracey and Moosey

    Obviously Binga likes being a well groomed cat. Our person trims our front claws. She has a pair of clippers made for cat claws so it doesn’t hurt. We always give our toes a through cleaning afterwards. Bandit, Selleck, and Their Person, Emily. 😎

    no, no, no…Binga doesn’t have ‘dirty’ claws! They are very very tidy…I can tell. She keeps them purrfectly groomed…sadly…mine are now much shorter after the torture session I endured last night from Mom and dad…sigh

    The photos are priceless…such a lovely pink tongue. We couldn’t tell that she had a paw at her mouth because of the shadow on the carpet. Mom had to make the photos really BIG so we could see it. Keep up the good work Binga. After all, we kitties are supposed to be self-cleaning. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette

    Westley loves getting his claws trimmed, Horus does not mind- except for his dew claw- being a polydactyl they are located between paw sections (ouch!) and Max HATES having his done. As indoor cats- it is a necessity to have the tips trimmed.

    Keep up the good work Binga!!

    Binga is so cute! She has her eye on your human to make sure she doesn’t bother her mani! We both don’t mind having manis or pedis since Daddy holds us and Mommy is quick about it. We know if we didn’t get them we wouldn’t be able to get under the covers at night since Mommy doesn’t like waking up with claw marks all over. She’s weird.

    Dad has to help our Aunt Tiff trim her cats’ nails and they are so silly because they all hide under her comforter on her bed when he comes over, thinking that they won’t be found. For cats who like to hide, they’re not very good at it.

    We don’t let anyone snip our claws, either. It would be at least a two-peep job, and still would require a blood transfusion standing by.

    We don’t think we would be very well behaved if Mum had to trim our claws. Fortunately with going outside and climbing fences it keeps ours nicely trimmed – Mum is very relieved because she’s sure she would need gauntlets on before trying to trim ours!
