How often should your cat’s nails be trimmed?
Cat nails should be trimmed once every one to two weeks. Generally, kittens' nails grow faster, especially when they don't know how to grind their nails, so owners need to trim their cats' nails every week or so. Adult cats generally grind their own nails, and their nails grow slowly, so owners can trim their cats' nails every two weeks or so.
