If you accidentally cut your cat's quick, don't panic. Calm your cat, wipe away the blood, and disinfect the wound. If the bleeding is minor, gently press the wound with cotton or clean gauze until the bleeding stops. If there is more bleeding, apply styptic powder to the wound and press firmly.
At the same time, it is recommended to switch to softer mineral litter to reduce discomfort for your cat. If the wound is deep or your cat shows symptoms such as redness, swelling, or pain, please seek veterinary attention immediately. When trimming nails, be sure to pay attention to the quick (the area below the nail bed) to avoid further injury.
