It’s fine as long as you’re careful you don’t cut them too short, they only have nerves/blood close to the paw, the rest is really similar to fingernails with no nerve endings. Our cats don’t even care when we trim their nails.
I think mine would’ve been fine if I did it when she was younger but then she was down with her scratch pads, scratch post and the front yard adventures.
Now, she’s an elderly kitty who almost tolerates the medical changes (seizure meds twice a day, asthma inhaler and trimming) but is grumpy about it.
Cutting cat’s nails to them is kinda like if someone cut off your fingers.
