I’m a very easygoing guy, and I let my mamas get away with far more than most cats would. But there’s one thing I really don’t like, and that’s having my nails clipped, as you can probably tell from my body language here as Those Two prepare to commence with the job.
In the end, I just chalk it up to one of those unpleasant chores we all endure. I may resist and squirm a bit, but I let them do it without inflicting injury. I know there will be treats afterward.

Dear Mr. Oxbow, I have to empathize with you. I really dislike someone else trimming my nails as well. I admire your philosophical approach…that we all have to endure unpleasant intrusions upon our bodies and minds every now and then. I guess it builds character…if we don’t experience challenges in our lives, how do we grow in strength and compassion for others?
