    Failed attempts

    I tried to do a series of photos to remake the nail clipping tutorial since Jen accidentally deleted her pictures. Well... I discovered I need to have another person in the room taking the pictures, instead of me setting the camera on a tripod with the timer set......

    Please make sure you have screen cleaner handy....

    Step 1:
    I show the tools of the trade, while Harry says "Dear Lord, what is she going to put me through?"


    Step 2:
    Carefully trim front claws, while Harry poses his paw purrfectly, and the camera cuts off his head. His eyes seem to be looking above, as if he knows he's getting cut off at the forhead.


    Step 3:
    Carefully trim other paw, while Harry looks at the camera, imploring everyone to please save him.


    Step 4:
    Give up and give the model treats.

    Good grief, he looks totally relaxed. Mine wiggle all over when I try to trim nails.

    What is your secret?

    HA!!! If only my cats were so docile when it came to clipping! I think Leroy needs to take some lessons from Harry!

    Speaking of Harry.....Look how BIG that boy is getting!!! He is so handsome, adorable, and cute as bug!!! What big and beautiful eyes. Harry I'm in love with you!

    Pouncer,is like most Cats,in that she does not realize,that waht you are doing,is for thier own good.Harry,is the ideal Cat,as he is so patient,and cooperative,something,that mostCats,are not so inclined,to be.Michael,of all My Cats,is the one Cat,whose claws,I can trim.

    First of all - I cannot believe how Harry is so docile and relaxed? Did you tranquilize him for the video??? He is also HUGE!!!

    Well I was feeling like a failure after watching that tutorial....

    then comes Pouncer THAT looks much more familiar!...only mine are worse in that I can't just rearrange their position and give them a kiss!!! Thanks for the chuckle Kim!!!
    We can add this tutorial to the PT help shelf along with Butt Baths!!

    I remember Jen's excellent nail-clipping photos. What yours may lack in professionalism Kim, they more than make up for in laughs.

    Pouncer is hysterical, and Harry is huge!!
