  1. I've always struggled to groom and clip my kitty's nails. But I found out that after a big meal, she is more willing to let me. So today, I fed her a sumptuous meal and after washing herself for a while, she started to feel really sleepy, droopy lids and all. I picked her up, got my grooming kit ready and wow! She is simply awesome. She actually allowed me to clean her with wet wipes all over and brush her pretty fur. I knew that she is also feeling really good, purring madly. I took the chance to groom her nails and I managed to clip them all. Amazing!

    And here's some pics after our grooming session. Very sleepy but smelling fresh and clean.

  5. I liked the stretched out pictures of your baby too. She is a beauty! I bet she feels good. I have to wait till Mia is sleeping before I can try to clip her claws. Sylvester is much easier. He will struggle a little but will give up when I hold him. Poor guy.

  6. Tuttibella, I wasn't able to see the pics..I kept getting a server error..but I love the idea of catching them when they're full and lazy..What a great tip...My 4 love to be combed but fight tooth and nail with the trimming of their toes. I'll have to give your suggestion a try.. Thanks.. :)

  7. Karen, I gotta catch mine when they're asleep also. And cannot do more than 1 a day...when the one getting clipped realizes what's going on and starts meowing, the others run for cover!

  11. Great photos, really. I must send Cato over for spa day. All he does to me is grab my wrist with his claws....no matter how full his belly, nor how sleepy. You obviously have the magic touch! :) Elizabeth
