[QUOTE="Star*, post: 191980, member: 4964"] I think you should try the muzzle and papoose him in a thick towel. I've had to do it at the shelter a lot - usually the vet can give you a mild sedative to help the cat calm down before you pappoose him.....and you'll need stiptic powder to stop any bleeding. If I were there I could show you how and yes....they cry, they pant, they struggle........but it's foreign. Ask your vet HOW MUCH to JUST cut the nails - ours charges $5 and does that papoose thing. Takes 2 minutes. Piper on the other hand is an in/out cat - and while she takes her frustration out of things outside - she did claw a few things - the cat training book I have said to put vinegar in a spray bottle and aim at whatever she was scratching - it worked. Cats HATE vinegar. Just test a part of your upholstery as vinegar is an acid and can change colors. Oh Also - for the cat that hates EVERYTHING???? I got her this thing at Kmart with corrugated cardboard in the center and a ball to batt around.....she WILL play with and scratch that. Once it's dirty? She's such a snot - must clean and replace cardboard....... Another neat thing we did for the cats at the shelter? We put one of those waterfountains in for added attention away from legs - they seem to be fascinated with running water - and makes them more adoptable if they aren't digging into the legs. [/QUOTE]
