Cam doesn't mind getting his nails clipped you just have to get him in the right mood. If he is in his crazy mood there is no way we can clip his nails, but when he is in his sleepy cuddly mood he just purrs away while we clip, we barely have to hold him. OUr bunny on the other hand hates having her nails clipped and we have to wrap her in a towel to do it.
