Thread: I'm so EXCITED!!

Now that is where NCarver & I differ, I find nail clipping a lot easier on my own,you are looking down on a foot at a time & know exactly how the cat is responding,if it feels ready to explode you can stop right away,no having to tell someone else to hold back,if you feel they are getting upset then you can have extra cuddle time & calm them down & off you go again,like grooming never give up on a negative, I have found with a lot of things that you do with a cat the more people involved seems to make them feel threatened & perhaps want to fight against it more,I very often sit outside on the wall if it is a nice day & do the clipping round,they are all so well behaved that it only takes a few minutes to do the lot,plus of course the cuddles & tummy tickles thrown in. When we were showing full time it used to be a monthly nail clip but still tend to do them every 6 weeks anyway but in between I just keep a playing & ticklng them there feet & lets face it how many MC's out there don't like having their little tuffted feet kissed & blown on while being told they are beautiful.
While on feet we have one who is a human foot licker,Merl,he wraps his tounge right round your toes,which I hate can't bear anyone round my feet but one day mum was lucky enough to be extended this hospitality,don't know who was in raptures more,the cat for being allowed to do it or mum being on the receiving end ...!
