Toes Tuesday - Keeping them manicured!

One of the important parts of being a cat is keeping your toes (nails) manicured. Many bazillions of years ago our Mom bought this teepee on clearance in K-Mart. We've always loved it and use it all the time (as you can see). Here we are demonstrating how to keep your nails good and sharp!!

Ellie is demonstrating how to multi-task. She's sharpening her claws and stretching at the same time!

Make sure you position your paw correctly.


Once you get the position you can use both paws as demonstrated by Allie.


After a little while you can really get going!


Two can play at this game!


We hope you've enjoyed our lesson! Happy Tuesday!

What a cool teepee! All I have is just a tall post with rope wrapped around it! But I am a good girl kitty and use it instead of the furniture.

That looks great! I wish I had a teepee to manicure my magnificent claws on. I guess I'll just have to keep using mommy's legs . . .

That little teepee looks fun! I am going to say to you what my Mommie always says when I scratch on my post: "GOOD SCRATCHING!"

You have great technique and I bet your claws are nice and sharp!

Chrissie said...

Wow, Ellie! You're very intent, with your ears all back and that look in your eyes! Remind me NOT to get between you and your TeePee!

Jackie said...

Oh my what a great way to sharpen. My Puma sharpens his claws on the trees outside.

You guys are just too cute!!:-)))

Excellent demo!!

Lux said...

Excellent - simply excellent technique and form! :)

Ana said...

This teepee is awesome! Maybe our Mommy can get something like that for Christmas ;-)

PS: Sorry, but better take care with the sidebar headlines. When they are too long and get stretched over two lines (like for the greeting cards) it doesn't look that good anymore.
