I ordered a nail clipper. I've been getting her used to my touching her

It's possible that her previous catslave clipped her nails. If so, that
will make it easier for you. When you do trip her nails, be sure to
look for the dark area and *do not* cut into it. That's the quick that
involves nerves and blood vessels. Of course, it's really not a
disaster if the quick is cut, but that could involve considerable
bleeding. Just cut in front of the quick, and you won't have that type
of problem.

Thanks, Mary! I know about not cutting down to the quick. I grew up
with birds and birds have claws, too.
