How can I safely trim my cat's thick nails to prevent them from becoming overgrown and causing discomfort?

To safely trim your cat's thick nails, use cat-specific nail clippers and only trim the sharp tip. Hold your cat securely and avoid cutting the quick, which is the pink part inside the nail. If unsure, consult a veterinarian or groomer for guidance. Regular trimming can prevent overgrowth and discomfort for your cat.
