My CC won't let me cut her nails,she hisses & tries to bite me.

Any sugestions how to get the job done ?

Not surprised, can you not just leave the poor cat alone!
Get her a scratching post. But if you can't resist messing with nature, find
her a new home.
Cutting a cats claws, never heard out so daft.

No leave her be as nature intended!

Although you can get little sticky on covers, if you want a semi defenseless
cat.

Poor little sod.

I'm going to try this next time I trim her nails. Wrap her in a hand
towel like a burrito. Put her on her back. Take out one leg and
trim. I've done it with rabbits but haven't tried a cat yet.

Are you a freaking idiot??

I had a cat like that I ended up having to take her to the vet to do it
or it got a set of Kevlar glovers out and had someone hold her down. After
a while she learned that it was go with the flow or got to the vet

Get a friend to help you.

I see, American cat owners, that explains it. Poor cats, the only possible
reason to cut a cats claws is, if it has a foot /claw infection and needs
treatment, in general this cruel act is just to make life a bit easier for
the human who keeps the pet. shame on you!

You're an idiot. I cannot be the first to tell you, but let me join the
ringing chorus of voices.

I wonder if satisvasam isn't getting clipping confused with declawing.

I keep kitties nails trimed when they grow too long. I see that this
is too complex a concept for you to fathom. Cats evolved in the wild,
not in a cave like yours, and the use of a scratching post is
frequently not enough to counter their claws' natural growth.

For example, I have a less active persian whose dew claw will spiral
in and cut her if it isn't trimmed.
