When we want to do their nails - THEY Are
Cujo - We are mice.
I've tried lots of things.
Tried the Groomer (don't go anymore)
Tried the Vet (he made Chanel bleed)
Tried to do it in the bathtub (yeah right - I got soaked - not one nail got cut)
Tried to cut them myself (they win - I lose)
The best solution for ME was wrapping them up in a big towel...sometimes making a hoodie like cover for their heads - I take a paw & clip a nail as fast as I can....THEN give them a kiss - Same procedure till I get one foot done. This can take up to 10 minutes.
IF they are REALLY squirmy - I do what I can and start fresh later or the next day.
If all above fails - I use an rough Emery board....You just have to keep at it because it's a necessity.
