What's the big deal about clipping five nails?
I know you know this, Barb, but it was 5 cats x 18 nails per cat. Took a wee bit of time. :-)
i'm not a mathematician, but it sounds like you have some deformed cats.
your pal, blake
You "might" be a mathematician, but you clearly don't know cats. :-) Cats have 5 claws on their front paws and 4 claws on their rear paws. That makes a total of 18, and they are not deformed.
There are some cats that have more toes (and claws) than that, but they are anomalies.

The groomer probably smelled of rodent, Petco sells lots of rodents.
Why pray tell would anyone ever bring a pet cat to a groomer? I could see perhaps a long haired show cat just prior to an event, but Petco???
Just for a nail clip. They were cheap and close by. And most groomers don't do cats. She once had a flea bath there too. I opted to take her there because she could be out of the house long enough for me to bomb the house.

My cats get brushed once, even twice a day... they also groom each other better than any Petco groomer can, and Blackie is the ear man, he grooms all their ears, cleaned better than a vet can... If I had a tongue as talented as Blackie's the gals would be lined up.
The groomer didn't do any brushing. I can do that. Just needed a pedicure. And AFAIK, the groomers there only do the grooming. It's in a separate area from the store.
One of cats has such long hair that we have her clipped at a groomer about 4 tims a year. This cost is $55. If we also have her nails clipped (and buffed), that's an addition $15.
They do an excellent job on both.

o.k. cats are even weirder than i thought.
your pal, blake
What I find really weird is it seems most people are not content with just one.
Lou
i'll concede that cats maybe better than dogs because you're almost always bigger and stronger than a cat, but giving them the possibility of ganging up on you seems downright foolish.

I take it you never had a cat?
Quoted message said:
nope. but 4.5 claws per paw? i'm pretty sure a cat has four legs.
(laugh) On average, I guess so. They often hide them so you can't see the deformity:
The "flying fur" made me think about the thread about finding a hair in the food.
In our house there's always bound to be cat hair in the kitchen, but before cooking I wipe down every counter, the glass top range, and wipe out the pots if they haven't been covered with a lid.
Yikes. I can't imagine being that fastidious. We have a little framed cartoon in our kitchen, a gift from my mother. The tagline: "Cat hair is considered a condiment in this house."
Cindy's co-worker and her husband have four Persians. Cat hair must be a staple of their diet.

We don't even have any animals and I wipe the counters and stove before making a meal.

I can only imagine what the cartoon in your bathroom says.

Of our 5 cats, only 2 of them tend to frequent the kitchen counters and they are both short-haired cats. It's not much of a problem.
