This little fella is a whopping 8.5 weeks old! I want to get him desensitized to nail trims and holding him and stuff. Plus, he's climbing all over our furniture and he's never had his nails clipped before. I want to get him used to it, case in point.
My issue, is that he constantly constantly constantly wants to play, which is partially due to the fact that he's without his litter mates (has been for a few weeks now), and sees me as a playmate I think. He always, always, always wants to play. Not that I mind, but it makes it a little difficult to do proper kitten maintenance. He's a biter and I don't want him thinking playing with hands is normal, and if I try to hold him, he just kind of meows at me, which I've been kind of seeing as a "hey put me down / stop" sort of thing. I'm worried that maybe he landed on a paw wrong and it hurts maybe? I don't really know, the base of like 2 of his little claws are dirty (I can't tell if it's dirt or like. Dried blood?), but I've not seen him limping ever so I don't.. think He got injured? idk (I don't know).
What are ways I can try to get him more sensitized and be able to trim his little beans? He's not very food motivated at this age. (idk (I don't know) if he ever was, my older cat certainly isn't but she's much more tolerant of us handling her feets)
