My friend reminded me, sharing

My inherited cat is 19. She does minimal grooming, doesn't use a scratcher pad. I was telling a friend that the kitty was getting stuck on any soft surface every step. My friend asked if she needed her claws trimmed. I was going to try today, but noticed the tip of one of her claws was long enough to touch the pad. I also realized I can't see well enough to clip. I got her into the vet this morning and got her nails clipped and ears cleaned. The long tip hadn't injured the pad, and all of her nails are clipped with no injury
I've had cats most of my life and never had to clip their nails. I'm really glad my friend mentioned it. I think the kitty will be more comfy.
