Welcome to Pet Talk Boogirl. I don't really have any advice either.
I've tried to trim Storm's and Sunny's nails before and they weren't very good boys. Storm kept trying to bite me and Sunny is a little wiggle worm. Now I take Storm, Sunny, and Sky to a groomer about every 6-8 weeks. They are angels there and the staff loves them. Sky will try to play with everyone so he's the hardest to clip and they only charge $9.00 per cat. If I took them to my vet it would cost at least $16.00 or so. It may be more expensive by now.

Unfortunately I can't take Cirrus to the groomer because he's so scared that they thought he was going to have a heart attack. They recommended that I give him sedatives but my problem is that I can't even pill him and he's too smart to fall for the pill hidden in the food trick. So the only way he's going to get his nails trimmed is when he's at the vets because I don't want to stress him out more than I have to. Hopefully a nail trim once a year will be enough.
