[Cha Cha]

I was awakened in the middle of the night by my Moka letting out a couple of faint wimpers. The first one I thought she was dreaming, but when she did it again, I lifted my head to see that she had her back foot caught in her ear hair, LOL. She was scratching her ears, and her nail got caught up in her hair. She does not have the kind of hair that mats but I think it got wrapped around her nail as she was scratching. It actually took some effort to get her unstuck.

Well, this morning before I left for work, I tried to trim her nails. They were not overly long, but could stand a triming. She did have one with a tiny little hook forming and I suspect it was the culprit. I got them all except for the very last one...when I went to snap it off she cried. She always does on that one. Why?? It was by far not the longest one, and I generally take only a tiny little bit off the tip and I know I am not close to the quick. I hate trimming thier nails for fear of getting too close but it has to be done.

Anyway, just wanted to share our late night drama, to warn about long nails and the hooks that form on the tips.
