First, remember to always clip a cat's nails when the cat is relaxed, even sleepy.
If you are going to clip your cat's nails, it is obvious that you need nail clippers. It is best of special claw trimmers are used. These can be bought at a pet store or online.
If you cut a cat's nails well, they will not bleed. However, a cat may not be cooperative or you may miss the correct place and a cut may be made that causes the nail to bleed. Styptic needs to be applied if the nail bleeds.
Some containers of styptic may come with a stick for application. However, this may not be in a container or styptic or may be lost. Because of this, a cotton swab should be at hand to apply the styptic.
A cat treat is a good thing to have because the treat should be given after the nails are clipped. In the best of situations, this type of treat will not be given at any other times.
While patience is not a material item, you will need it. A cat may not want to cooperate. It also may take a few days to get a cat's nails completely clipped.
Remember to never clip a cat's nails after it has been playing or when it is stressed.
