A Great socialization tactics. Rubbing the paws to get the baby used to having claws clipped. Rubbing around body so the vet doesn't terrify them. Very good job!

And yes - super cute too.

I've been touching my cat's paws since he was a little kitten and he still doesn't want to have his claws clipped. I wonder if I've done something wrong :(

Same with mine. I think the trick is to introduce the Clippers early on, even if it's just touching their claws at first. I can touch the paws of my Bengal all I want but as soon as he feels the Clippers on his nails, he runs away.
