When I try to trim his claws he won't let me, even at the vet's. Any advice on what to do?

    It's honestly ridiculous to clip a cat's claws, just get them a cat tree or a scratching post instead.

    If your vet can’t manage it, then they aren’t very good lol. Does your cat have a cat tree? That would already make the job much easier! Otherwise, you’ve just got to do it. You just need to show some authority—grab him by the scruff of the neck and he won’t be able to do a thing. And ask someone to help you; it’s much easier with two people, especially with a temperamental cat =)

    SEVV, I've had plenty of rescue cats, including kittens, and I've never had any damage to the wallpaper or the sofa etc........... There were scratching posts and other bits -
