Failed attempts

I tried to do a series of photos to remake the nail clipping tutorial since Jen accidentally deleted her pictures. Well... I discovered I need to have another person in the room taking the pictures, instead of me setting the camera on a tripod with the timer set......

Please make sure you have screen cleaner handy....

Step 1:
I show the tools of the trade, while Harry says "Dear Lord, what is she going to put me through?"

Step 2:
Carefully trim front claws, while Harry poses his paw purrfectly, and the camera cuts off his head. :rolleyes: His eyes seem to be looking above, as if he knows he's getting cut off at the forhead.

Step 3:
Carefully trim other paw, while Harry looks at the camera, imploring everyone to please save him.

Step 4:
Give up and give the model treats.

lol, if only it were that easy for my ashley, i have to wrap her in a towel, she hoooollllaaasss, and i use human toe nail clippers.. i can see more of what im cutting..

Good grief, he looks totally relaxed. Mine wiggle all over when I try to trim nails.

What is your secret?

Holy Toledo!!! Are all your cats that relaxed when you trim their nails.

Harry is such a cutie patootie. Oh *RUB* *RUB* *RUB* that sweet belly.

GOOD GRIEF! Give up!?!?!??? :confused: those are perfect pictures (except for the "technique".......I'd hate to try that with a wild cat....:p )

by the way, Harry is just ADORABLE!!!

Our technique--give up and pay the vet's office to do it.:D

HA!!! If only my cats were so docile when it came to clipping! I think Leroy needs to take some lessons from Harry!:rolleyes:

Speaking of Harry.....Look how BIG that boy is getting!!! He is so handsome, adorable, and cute as bug!!! What big and beautiful eyes. Harry I'm in love with you!:) :) :)

Why Pouncer was not the model -- attached is a video of a typivcal trimming session withPouncer. :rolleyes:

ROFLMBO!!!!!:D :D :D Now that looks like my house!!!;)

Pouncer is stiff as a board! What a funny funny video!!:D :D :D LOL!!!

Pouncer,is like most Cats,in that she does not realize,that waht you are doing,is for thier own good.Harry,is the ideal Cat,as he is so patient,and cooperative,something,that mostCats,are not so inclined,to be.Michael,of all My Cats,is the one Cat,whose claws,I can trim.

Now, that one of Pouncer is EXACTLY how it goes at MY house!! WHY do they hate having their nails clipped??

I loved that video!

LOL at the Pouncer video!

First of all - I cannot believe how Harry is so docile and relaxed? Did you tranquilize him for the video??? He is also HUGE!!!

Well I was feeling like a failure after watching that tutorial....

then comes Pouncer:D THAT looks much more familiar!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../greenLOFL.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../greenLOFL.gif...only mine are worse in that I can't just rearrange their position and give them a kiss!!! Thanks for the chuckle Kim!!!
We can add this tutorial to the PT help shelf along with Butt Baths!!:)

I remember Jen's excellent nail-clipping photos. What yours may lack in professionalism Kim, they more than make up for in laughs. :D :D

Pouncer is hysterical, and Harry is huge!!

OMG, what a funny video!! Looks just like when I try clipping Inka's nails:rolleyes: !
Wow Harry, you are such a sweetie!!

Aww, these cute photos of Harry! I bet Luna has the same expression on her face while she's going through that procedure! :D

And LOL@the Pouncer video! Poor boy - oh, how he hates it! But Lily was thrilled to hear his voice... :D

ROFLMAO - I was thinking the exact same thing everyone else was, that Harry was WAYYYY to good for this tutorial, because in reality, my Abby could be Pouncer !!!

I can't get the video to play :( This is the second time lately. I can't figure out why.:confused:
