From a WUN-Kat, FULLY Klawed, howze...

Start EARLY, and *SNIP* Often!!

As RedHedd suggested, THIS STYLE >>



... the Scissors style ~
is MUCH easier to use on a Kat!!

I "hold" da Boots half on my lap, with his rear end sort of
wedged / pinned into the back corner of an easy chair...
"Holding" the Target Paw in my left hand,
and *Snipping* with my right hand.
The Scissors style lends itself to being held at "right angles" or
along side of the Cat's nail -
and you can look down to see what you're doing.

Rear end?
*Flip* da Kat ~
(belly UP, head end at your chest, rear paws at your knees) on your lap -
HOLD ON TIGHT to the selected rear paw -
and chop away!
"Secret" is to convince Said Kat that with you holdin da Paw
in a Death Grip - "attempting to flee" is futile!

If da Boots puts up a *Phuss* (rare these days) -
I put on a long-sleeved shirt, and rest (or press if required)
on his chest / tummy with my "holding arm" will I chop on the rear end.
