And as Amy has also said "Best time to do it is when they're groggy from a nap. Don't attempt to clip their nails on YOUR scheduleOriginally Posted by momto3cats
I have never had much luck with the towel method. I find it easier to do it when they're sleepy and relaxed - I pet the cat and talk soothingly to her while clipping as quickly as I can. If she gets upset, I just stop, and finish another day. My attitude seems to make a big difference, also. I try to be very calm and matter-of-fact about the whole thing, and that makes it much easier than before, when I was apprehensive about the cat's possible reaction.
