Both Abby and Flutter scream as if being murdered but I know its because they don't like the position I put them in to do the trimming - not the trimming itself. The others figured out long ago that being still and quiet gets the job done much faster.

The more you clip their nails the faster they realize its not death on earth. I trim my guys at least once a month. Many times I do it twice a month, like in the summer when nails grow faster. The more you trim their nails the smaller and smaller the quick grows.
