Chris and Frankie got what amounts to a lump of coal in their stocking on Christmas day. They got their nails trimmed. Felice, my sister-in-law who happens to be an expert on cats, was here and Rose couldn’t resist asking her to trim our cats’ nails.
Chris, as usual, put up a big fuss. Frankie was better, and Puck was hiding under the bed so he still has long nails.
They did get presants too. We are not total Scrooges.

That sounds very familiar here… Mum usually needs some trial (and lots of treats) before she succeeds in trimming our claws. Purrs
It is not easy. That is why my wife usually does it. 🙂
Nubia we can easily clip her nails but Oliver no chance. We have to take him to the vet for that. 😦
I had mine trimmed BEFORE Christmas but it takes Mom AND Dad to do mine! Mom trimming and Dad holding on to me!
Hugs, Sam
You are just like Chris. 🙂
Thank cod they got some presents after having to go through that. We hate getting our nails cut!
Yes. They got some new mice and Aunt Felice brought them cat grass.
Their Auntie is a cat whisperer 🙂 That was a nice gift to you and your wife.
She is great, isn’t she?
I think both your cats did great with the clipping. Sometimes I wrap mine in a towel or a blanket pulling out one paw at a time. I find it’s best to do it right while they’re napping and grab then and snip them. They seem to tolerate the clipping best then. The clips should also be as fast as possible. I do find clipping the dewclaw the hardest usually.

Anyway, nice videos. Your cats did great! Give them kudos! 🙂
Thank you. I agree. You have to surprise them and be quick.
Chris is a big baby – just like Binga! Boodie and I don’t mind having pawdicures.
Chris can be very difficult sometimes.
