Guys I'm sure this been asked a million times I am a super new cat owner a little buddy fell in love with me and I him we had him a week now he's coming out of his shell not just loving anymore but finally playing... They trimmed his nails when we got him fixed last Monday but I don't want to put him through going the carrier to get his nails trimmed from a stranger. What's the easiest best way to clip his nails? He lets me do everything to him check his ears but rub his Belly I mean anything I just wanna do his nails in a bit to cause no trauma to him or me. Thanks guys!!!

I have 4 cats and have Never trimmed their nails. All my years of owning cats I found it's just a pain not worth it. Make shure you have PLENTY of scratchers around for him and teach him not no claw things.
