    We did it!! Thank you! Our 20-year old cat could barely walk - he’s never had to have claws trimmed b/c he spent time outside, but as he’s aged, he doesn’t want to go out anymore. His claws were out of control. We were shocked, but he actually let us just pet him and trim the nails (it did take two people for the living and the trimming). And the beer def helped! Thanks so much!! 🎉🥳

    My wife and I really were surprised how informative as well as so funny. You really made me laugh out loud with the "drink" comment. Also I thought the suggestion to start touching their paws so they get desensitized. I guess my cat could join me in beer as an alternate means of desensitizing. Great Job.

Under the table! Genius! At the moment I'm just giving treats and touching her paws calmly, squeezing out the claws. Hopefully a few days of that I can do my first trim myself :) just need to get some wine beforehand.....

    My cat kept running away so I had to wrap him in a towel and when I did that he settled down, he allowed me to cut the first 7 nails on his front paws but when down to the last 3 he started to cry but not freaking out or squirming so I still managed to finish. He's a fluffy cat so his nails are hidden under it all, making it a little harder to locate them. After the first 10 nails I gave him a break with treats, toys, and lots of kisses and hugs. When I wanted to continue onto his back legs he only allowed 2 and then started freaking out again and running away. I gave up after that. Thankfully this video reassures me that I'm taking all the right steps and to simply continue the process and he'll (hopefully) grow more comfortable overtime. He's only 11 weeks old, been touching his paws a lot since the day I got him so thankfully that helped with this process a little. Crossing my fingers that with age he's let me clip all 20. Kinda getting tired of him scratching the unholy hell out of my legs whenever he wants to jump up onto my lap haha.

    Oh my gosh! This is me bringing the cat to the vet horrible experience bringing the cat to the groomer. Shut in for covid-19 need to learn how to do this myself. I'm the one with the crazy cat I didn'get as kitten! Thanks Liz very entertaining!

    Thanks for the video. I just became a cat daddy today to two rescue sisters and also picked up some good stout. I don't see trimming their nails anytime soon tho, need some snuggle time before that happens I think.

    You are definitely adorable! Lovely video! But,... my cat is way too nervous for a trim from me! The Vet does it in 2 seconds though! Thank you SO MUCH for a fun video!
