also you can still clip the claws if you know what you are doing

My wife showed me some advice online to hold the scruff of their neck in your mouth like a mama cat would while clipping. I tried it and I was able to clip all the claws on my 23 pound cat by myself. He barely freaked out and he's a huge baby scaredy cat about everything.

I did get a mouthful of hair but it was worth it.

Just don't clip up to the pink part and youre fine. I use regular fingernail clippers for that.
