11. You can buy those tiny claw covers in a pet store or online.

They come in all kinds of fun colors that can make the cat look like it's wearing nail polish. Just Google "nail caps cats" and you'll pull up a ton of examples.

I tried them on Logan (the last cat we had before Willow), and he immediately commenced to chewing them off. I spent the next couple of hours picking tiny bits of the stuff off the floor and the furniture.

I tried once more with the same results, and gave up. I know there are cats that tolerate those just fine, but the only way to tell is to put then on and see what happens.

Fortunately, Logan tolerated having his claws trimmed - grudgingly, but he put up with it. Willows fights the clippers like her life depends on it, and without trimming, her claws are like little needles. Maybe I'll try the claw covers on her one of these days.
