Go to the net and do a search on clipping cats nails. There is a ton of information on it.
Personally speaking, you should start with the nails early, early, early, in their life. My two were started as kittens and they really are sweet with it now. Every now and then Miley, the female will put up a fuss, but not Graemer.
Most of the articles will mention touching their paws first. Get them used to your paws on their paws. Massage the paws....hehehehehehe...I bet most of you are in a full belly laugh by now.... anywho.......I would do the towel thing...or my favorite invention when dealing with pilling and cutting of nails with my former cat...was.....I cut off a sleeve of a very, very heavy sweatshirt and used to stuff the kitty down the sleeve, like a sausage, and then go for the paws, one by one.
It is not impossible to do this, although it may seem like it.
Early and often, just like voting!
P. S. I even clip their back nails. They can really damage furniture surfaces.....as you all well know!
