Thank you for your replies
Lizward so your girl is ok with her nails long? What I'm worried about is another eye incident were Deckers Eye was scratched because of long nails.
I'm not sure about the scratching pole keeping their nails trimed. My guys dont have one yet because I'm moving next year and it would be cheaper to wait till after we move to bu them a nice scratching play set.
I've tried the towel thing by myself and that went straight down hill, someone probably thought I was murdering him
But I have good news. Just went downstairs and decided to give it another go. I picked him up and sat him on my lap. I got my brother to come in who Horris is scared of to hold him by the scruff of his kneck. I was able to clip his front paws with only hiss's didnt want to push my luck with his back paws.
