WHEN you get another cat (or kitten) (I say WHEN as PT has that effect on people ), whenever the cat is relaxing in your lap. hold and massage it's paws. That way, it will be more relaxed, and will not associate having it's claws clipped with you touching its paws. (I have done that with Ally since I found her, and I usually manage to clip all four feet in one session, although she is a fidget! Connor just lies on his back and lets me do it, which is funny because when they clipped him at the shelter he took their skin off!
