You can do it in a small room, like the bathroom, so she cannot get away.

Or...if that'll freak her out..you can do it a few claws at a time, while she's sleeping.

Hugs to you...I know its really hard...especially with a tortie. We don't trim Noel's claws. We made the mistake of not doing that when she was young. Luckily, she uses her cat tree, but I'd be wearing leather like you, if we had to attempt it.
