Poor Gail.
Human fingernail clippers are fine. If you turn them so that the flat surface of the blades are perpindicular to the flat surface of Milo’s nail (higher up, where it is thicker, you can see the orientation), it’s almost impossible for you to quick him because of the curvature of his nail. It truly does not hurt (exactly like clipping your own nails), he is objecting to the restraint and the touching of his feet. Plus, he knows he has you completely bamboozled.
There are “cat bags” available, but I think that you will find that getting a reisting cat into a small nylon bag is harder than a toenail trim has any hope of being.
Swaddling with a large, fluffy towel or a small blanket is going to be your best bet. When trying a manuever like this by myself, I will sometimes sccop them up in a blanket, place them on the floor, and then sit/crouch on the floor with my legs in a “V”, using my legs and knees and crotch as a corral (hence the adequate padding). Then pull out a foot at a time to clip. Be careful – he will still be able to bite if he can get to you.
If Milo is being truly ugly about this, perhaps your friendly neighborhood vet clinic is your best bet. You may even be able to arrange for a pet sitter or technician (or some other professional animal wrangler) to make a house call every month or so for a set fee.
Good luck. Don’t get hurt.
