I've been using this for 16 years, recommended by a groomer friend. There are small scratches, but it's not difficult to use. It's very easy to use, but please be careful. If you're unsure, I recommend using it under the guidance of your regular veterinarian! I'm listing this with the hope that it can find a second stage in the life of your beloved pet. Thank you. #LIFE #Nail clippers #Cat nail clippers
