Well, today me and my mom had to trim the kitties claws. Of course my cat Summer couldn't care less so she was more than happy to cooperate....
But Pippin.... holding him down reminds me of wrestling an alligator! Its a burden to try to hold him down, so we decided to just distract him. So I popped him up on my counter and my mom says "Here, turn on the fishtank light on so he can watch the fishies" And the second we turned on the light, he instantly stopped squirming and didn't care about anything but the fish. So now we know what to do next time we trim his claws!
My fish seemed to have interesting reactions to the cats too. For instance, Sparta flips out(well, she flips out when anything is in front of the tank) but Ricky just swims in front of the glass. But my neon could care less!
