I've never had to clip a cats nails before. Prior kitties were indoor/outdoor and the outside time kept their nails in line. But my current kitties are strictly indoor and their nails are getting out of control. They were rescue and I didn't get them until they were 6 months old (approx. ~ 1 year now) and they are still skittish and won't let me hold them. Navi is mellow enough that I think I can do her nails when she's sleepy/calm. However, I'm pretty sure Link won't let me touch his paws. I'll probably need to take him to a pro for the time being.
What kind of cat nail clippers do you use? And any other advice for nail clipping a kitty that's skittish/nervous and/or general nail clipping advice? Also is there a particular type of scratching post material that helps with keeping the claws short? Thanks!
