My cat has a scratching post, but should I still trim her nails?

Question

Should I be trimming my cat's nails? She does have a scratching post, but I'm not sure if there's anything else I should be doing. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 12 days old | 7.5 lbs

You should be checking your cat's nails weekly. If they are getting long, trim them. Some cats do a good job on their own keeping the nails at a good length. https://www.petcoach.co/article/trimming-your-cat-s-nails-with-a-clipper/ Please feel free to post any additional questions.
