My lilac Siamese purrs while I clip her claws :) 'Course she also purrs while you stick a thermometer up her butt, give her shots, manhandle her, pet her, talk to her, look at her... She loves attention. All her kits and the rest of our cat family (including the studs) tolerate claw clipping very nicely, though they prefer to be alone in the room while its done; I think they feel vulnerable while their claws are temporarily not under their control. And one boy had to be bribed with treats, but he soon figured out that claw trimming meant he got food so then it was good.

All previous cats were pretty easy to clip their claws. I don't know what it is with these. When it got to the point I could clip one or two nails and they'd escape, they held such grudges toward me that I ceded. There's nothing worse in my mind than a feisty female feline feeling funky toward their mommy so I let the groomer or vet do it, then the cats can blame someone else.
