GIRRRRRRRLLLLLLL...although you have heard it enough already, you and NOT a BCM. Sheesh. Welcome to nawteekittyhood!!! Think Alabama, think Dakky, think Monte.....this is just a stage.

The best way for me to clip Monte's nails is whilest, and immediately after, he has had a long snooze! He is pretty sleepy, and lets me do it nearly all at once. AND you do get quicker and better, AND Chloe will get more accepting.

Trust me, I have had scratches in places I didn't even know I could get scratched! Jonah has been scratched....by B-A-D Monte. Just last week, Allie jumped up into my arms, WHILE I WAS HOLDING JONAH! Allie is nearly 5 years! Some cats.....some cats...

Hang in there, Staci. You are doing great.
