I've been making attempts here and there to try to clip Ferris' claws when he is as relaxed as possible. With him being so feral still, I know better than to try to catch him and hold him with one arm while going after the claws with the other - I'd just be asking to be clawed to pieces, and possibly bit in the bargain.
He's shy about having his paws touched, but I've been working up to it, trimming one single claw occasionally here and there, and this weekend I was actually able to do one whole front paw and one whole back paw before he got too irritated with me and got up and left. Yay!
The last time we were at the vets they asked if I wanted them to do it but I said no - I need to be able to do him on my own. I'm so glad it looks like it will be possible - even if it's just a paw at a time! Woo-hoo!
I think I will ask them to do all 4 paws on Friday, though, since he'll be put under for the neuter - makes sense, huh? Might as well.
