Whenever I
sneeze, sob or cough, she runs from wherever she is and in
chirpy-type question (her voice always goes up) mode asks, "You
okay, mom?" Once I was sobbing so hard that she crawled under
the covers with me and put her paw on my face to take away the
tears (at least that's what I like to think she did). She's a
real mama's girl and I love her to pieces.
She sounds like an angel of a kitty! When I cry my eyes out
(thankfully not recently), my cats don't even seem to notice.
You're lucky, you have a real sweetheart.
I'd be interested in hearing testimonials about it, too. I've seen
ads on TV about it, and I'm intrigued. My cats hate having their
claws clipped.
Stinky put up with it for years, but he recently just decided "Wait--
you're sticking needles in me every day, and you're gonna clip my
claws TOO?? Lady, I love you, but up with this I will not put. Leave
me some dignity, babe!" And I'm inclined to agree with him, except
that his claws have to be clipped.
And Dante is just a very difficult shape to get hold of-- big and
round-- and slippery, when he wants. Ridiculous creature.
So, yes, I'd also be interested in hearing anything people have tried
that works.
I saw a thing in the Drs. Foster & Smith catalog in which you wrap the cat
up in something akin to a sleeping bag/mummy wrapping with the front paws
sticking out. Then you trim their nails.

I can't figure out how they expect anyone to get the cat bundled into such
a contraption in the first place. They've never seen me try to get Persia
into her carrier. LOL
Exactly. How do you get a resistant cat *into* the thing? I got one for
Stinky for just in case he wouldn't let me give him his fluids. But it soon
became clear that if I couldn't hold him to give him the damn fluids, there
was no way I could wrestle him into *that* thing.
