That's how I feel, but she is still young and such a little madam - I feel I should not give up just yet (so far it is 80:20 to her I think)

I think Mousie would probably sit quietly and allow us to clip her claws.......she's very easy-going and used to sitting still for medication and blood tests, so claw clipping would be a breeze.
Miw, however........I don't think I'd dare to even try! As it is, we need 3 people and full body armour just to do her monthly flea treatment, and that's just a little drop on the back of her neck LOL!

That reminded me - I had the same problem when we did her flea treatment. OMG I have a monster!!
Honestly of all the cats I have ever shared my life with she is the most determined, cussed, sweet, loving, single minded, quirky one I have ever known. A beautiful, little fluffy challenge!
Maybe once she starts to go out she'll keep them short enough for me not to bother with (x's fingers and pleads)
