I adopted my cat in February '06 when he was about 2 months old. I was able to cut his nails twice since then, but I NEED to cut them now (they are RAZOR sharp), but he won't stay still!
The last two times I did it, he was nearly asleep, but now even though it seems like he's falling asleep, he will INSTANTLY wake up and run away as soon as I touch his paw. I figure he usually sleeps during the day while I am at work, but I watched him ALL DAY yesterday and he did not fall asleep at all (other than his 2 minute cat naps). Any tips?
I found Pet-Ease at PetSmart, which is supposed to calm him down, but that doesn't really seem to work. I've read that it might help to wrap him in a towel, but I have no idea how... I tried a couple times and he always gets out... I know how to cut the nails if I could get to them, I just need to know how to get my cat to stay still for 2 minutes!!
