    LOL!!!! Eddie, that picture of you is a hoot.

    My RB Katie girl was the only perfect one for trimming the nails. She would just lay back in my arms and let me snip away. The boys though are another story. It takes two of us to get a hold of them.

    We do it in tandem, also. Jeff trims, and I hold. Archy doesn't mind, he'll lick our hands, but Binky squirms like mad. Doesn't like his manicure & pedicure.

    But we reward them with 'nip when it's all done, and all is forgiven.

    In order of cooperative attitudes about nail clipping:

    1. Pippin & Sam (By far, the easiest of all the critters)
    2. Scooter ( started when we got him - he thinks its a cute game... )
    3. Tiger (front claws OK...back claws requires two cowboys to wrangle this squirmmy wormmy cat--- we have to do the back ones, cuz Tiger likes shoulder rides. I have too many sweatshirts with little puncture holes in them. )
    4. Percy ( OK...you can cut them, but you are gonna hear about it!)
    5. William (Normally nice cat turns demonic if you try to do the back ones)

    Norbert is not rated at this time - we are working on getting him to trust us enough to clip just one nail at a time. So far, no luck!
