Well, today was my first time EVER cutting a cat's nails! I've never owned a kitten before, and it really is pretty simple. I cut Toby's a little at a time so that I avoided the quick (or whatever that vein is called), and she did fine! She was getting really sleepy as we lounged together on my bed, so I took advantage of the situation and broke out the clippers since her nails are getting long (I've had her for 3 weeks now to the day!) I have to still do the back feet but I can work on that later today...
