I've just finished trimming Polly's claws! Now all the neighbours are ringing the RSPCA!
Despite the fact that I've had 20 years experience of claw-trimming, she was convinced I was murdering her and yowled at full volume. Most embarrassing, as I live in a Victorian terrace and all the neighbours could hear!
When I checked Sam's claws, Sam purred all the way through!
Polly is an ex-feral, trusting in every way but this. I think she was in a particularly bad mood this evening. Her claws had grown quite long as, unlike Sam, she doesn't wear them down on the scratching post (maybe I should buy them one each? Do cats use the same post?)
I feel slightly traumatised by this. Must have a cup of tea!
I'm sure everyone here understands how I feel.
