  If you’ve decided to clip your cat’s nails, you may be in for a surprise the first time.

While some cats will sit quietly while you clip, most are apt to behave, well, like a cat. To restrain your cat yourself, place your lower arm across his neck as he lies on his side on your lap. If he fights this, you can try a cat muzzle. Using cat clippers, work fast. Always take off less if you’re not clear where the quick is.

Some people swear by cat restraint bags, which makes your cat into a mummy. Just be aware that while you may get the job done using one of these, there’s a chance your cat may never forgive you.
