Sumo has learned what the nail clipper does and immediately attacks it whenever he sees it

You take a blanket or large towel and wrap the cat. Then you reach inside the purrito and extract one paw at a time.

He might try to move that one around but it’s a lot easier to control than a full cat

My wife has managed to make both our cats enjoy getting their nails trimmed and I am convinced she is an actual witch

It’s usually a two person job minimum; one person to restrain the cat with the blanket, one person to actually trim the nails.

Megan usually has to start when Rusty's asleep. On a good day this means finishing two paws before he's too fuss to let her continue.

this is why for some human/cat combinations the best option is "pay a groomer to deal with it"

he doesn't seem to dislike being brushed but if he sees the brush he spends like five minutes trying to put the entire brush in his mouth
