My Max won't let me do it, either! I suppose if I did what I"m supposed to he'd eventually let me. You're supposed to incorporate playing with their feet a lot into your petting, until they enjoy having their feet handled. Then you can just do one at a time and take several days to complete the project. I ended up having the vet do it while he was under anesthesia for something else last week!

Let me know how it goes!
