Well done Judy. I'm proud of you.Woo Hoo! Great success this morning. While cuddled up next to me in bed I managed to clip 3 of the 5 claws on Pi's right front paw! After that my boy had had enough. He let me know that by pulling his paw away and giving me a wide eyed stare. I told him ok that was all for today and put the clippers back on the night table by my bed. I must have done it correctly as he didn't run away but snuggled down on my lap for a snooze. I AM THRILLED! Will try to finish the remaining two tomorrow then Friday move on to the left front paw. I found the very informative diagram below on the web--a big help as P's claws are very long.
