The more you clip their nails the faster they realize its not death on earth. I trim my guys at least once a month. Many times I do it twice a month, like in the summer when nails grow faster. The more you trim their nails the smaller and smaller the quick grows.
LOL! Mishi and Mitzi do the same - my neighbors must think I'm a horrible meowmie! They scream bloody murder. Mishi is the worst of the two - he's so big and squirmy that I have to do his nails in several sessions; the big baby.

Mitzi is pretty easy because she's so small I can tuck her under my arm. She also hates it and her claws are so teeny-tiny it's like clipping little needles. Good thing I only have to do it once a month and get it over quickly. They are always rewarded afterward with pets and treats.
