yesterday and they ground his nails down nice and rounded. The other cat is more mellow, and I have been clipping his nails ever since the cat/dog fight incident. And I thought that would be good, but this morning I woke up and found the arm of the sofa pretty snagged up. So I guess that isn't going to work either.

My mom's vet and groomer both use one.
They have them at Walgreen's or Bed Bath and Beyond if you don't want to do mail order. Both are $19.99 but BBB has the coupons that you can get in the mail for 20% off or $5 off all the time. Not sure how I started getting them but I'm sure you can probably go to their website and sign up for a mailing list and get some, or check an ad in the paper or store lobby.

My pooch is getting one for xmas. I just get so scared clipping her nails myself.
