I would never pick a fight with Misa cos he is bigger than me  ;D

The birmans do not verbally prostest but I only do claws if I think they are catching.........................ouch Franta, claw time ;D

And of course Sasa is just Sasa  :rofl:

Toffee and Magnum will quite happily sit on while I clip their claws. I get my boyfriend to hold Harvey while I do his as he's a little young to sit still for 5 mins  :rofl:. Now when I do Max's claws (big black lab x collie) you'd think I was murdering him the way he goes on. I only take the tips off and you'd think I was beating him up by the way he cries and howls.

Letty sits tucked under my arm and goes MREEEEEEEEOWWWWWL in vaguely threatening yet squeaky tones the whole way through  :rofl: Daffy bless her sat in her bed purring and washed my hand while I held her paw last time I did her.  :Luv:

Ollie I wouldn't even try to hold for it - I just get the odd one in while he's snoozing in my lap. Resorts to violence quite readily, does Oll.  :doh:

I have no joy. Lexy is a wriggling muffin and her dad has to hold her but he feels so guilty and worries he'll hurt her that now I have to hold her.....(read into this...scratches and gouges in arms!).

Mogs hates having her claws done but as she doesnt sit on me I check them now and then and only do them when its needed. She never used a scratch post either prefering the back of the settee which I wasnt happy about. I bought a scratch mat from PAH and she uses that (occasionally)

I’ve never had a problem clipping Lirael’s claws until we brought in a new kitty, Smoke.

I clipped Smoke’s claws first and she hated it, wiggled and meowed the whole time. So Lirael thought it’d be fun to do the same…

Now I clip Lirael first so she doesn’t complain.

I've just finished trimming Polly's claws! Now all the neighbours are ringing the RSPCA!


Dont worry, they wouldnt bother on a sunday night  :evillaugh:

Ours arent toooooo bad.. Cheese is a bit of a hissing terror, Gerti purrs and doesnt notice, and Doc is hard to clip cause he is paddling and you cant keep hold of the paw!  :rofl:

To think I might not see those eyes, makes it so hard not to cry, and as we say our long goodbyes, I nearly do.

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.
Cats were once gods; they have never forgotten this, nor have the people they own.
