I have a calico cat who won't allow her claws to be clipped. Once I accidentally cut too close, so I understand her fear. However she snags everything, so I have to do something. I am thinking maybe it is possible to sedate her??? She weighs 10.3 pounds. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hello,I am sorry to hear Pandy is having some trouble.This is actually not an uncommon problem in cats, however there are a few things that may help.Your vet can apply a cover called soft paws. I do not recommend doing this yourself because I have seen to many glue mishaps.

Most vets will give you a mild sedative to help calm her down.The following video may help give you some additional ideas as well.
