My kitten's claws are too sharp! How do I keep my baby safe?

Question

I want to start by saying I love my kitten so much. She uses her claws for everything, even when she's just jumping off of my chest or something. We've tried trimming her claws, but she's fights and it's hard to clip them because she moves so much. I'm not keen on declawing and don't want to re-home her, but we have a baby coming in January and want to ensure our baby is safe from scratches. Any advice on what we can do? She is strictly an indoor cat. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 11 months and 9 days old | 0 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Shadowcat. Have you tried a product known as Soft Paws? They are soft caps that can be glued onto the nails. If you are unable to apply them at home, your veterinarian will be able to do so for you. I think it would definitely be worth a try! Good luck.
