It hurts, there's blood, and after that your cat associates the sight of clippers with being pinned down. So the nails grow. They catch on the carpet and snag on the couch, and in older cats they can curl back toward the pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA grinder removes the guesswork.\u003c\/strong\u003e Clippers are a single irreversible cut — you commit, and you're either short or you're into the quick. A grinder takes off a fraction at a time. You file until you're close, then you stop. It's genuinely difficult to hurt her with it, even if you're clumsy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe reason most grinders fail with cats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoise.
