I used the same clippers as Uabasson... I too have the tendency to lose them! One thing that I accidentally happened upon last week is I gave Pouncer catnip right before I wanted to trim his nails. He played for a bit, and then when he was completely relaxed (um, stoned) I clipped the nails! Talk about piece of cake! At that point, he woud have let me do just about anything to him.
