Hello Buleste
I think you get me wrong, I am not having his nails removed but simply the sharp points clipped, it is similar to clipping our own nails, they will grow back.You should never clip claws. Do it wrong and you can cripple a cat. Scratches are part of the joys of having a cat and besides cats learn not to use them if you teach them. Get him a scratching post.
As for the joy of scratches, you can tell me a lot more, since yesterday my joy for scratches has reduced significantly.
He does have a scratching post.
