Claw-trimming amusement, starring Lynxie

I made this video and showed it to a few friends, and they thought it
was hilarious, so I figured I'd share it with all of you.

I trim Lynxie's claws before he gets "sharpies" as I call them, and
have been doing this since kittenhood. Doing this has several
advantages; the kitten never learns to climb drapes and such because
he can never get his claws in due to them being too dull. Also, if you
are holding him and he gets startled, needle-sharp claws going
everywhere won't slice you to ribbons!

He's really used to claw-trimming, but still doesn't like it, and
complains loudly and constantly during the procedu

The most amusing part is that he complains *constantly* during the
entire procedure, but doesn't even *try* to get away. He just lies
there and accepts his fate as I trim his claws.

He's so well-behaved for being so apparently annoyed!

I hope everyone is doing well and that this brings you all smiles!

Good to see Lynxie agan! Caliban was cuddling on my arm (still is - it's
hard to type with one hand) and looked at the screen like 'STFU - I'm
trying to relax here!' Miranda came running from the other room to see
who was in distress and why.

Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

I hate my computer. The processor is sooooo sloooooow, it can't deal with
videos like yours, so I only see a picture every few seconds. (It's not
my network connection - I have DSL.)

I did hear the entire audio track, however - and so did Smudge. She
wasn't amused. I think it alarmed her to hear this very loud, angry cat
yowling and not to know where it was coming from. (She seems mostly over
it now.)

Meanwhile, the picture didn't match what I was hearing at all, but it
was still cute. Mostly it just showed Lynxie draped over your knee. And
although he could be heard meowing loudly, his mouth was completely shut
in the image.

As I said, I really hate this stupid computer. It's definitely time to
upgrade!

Baggy just came in the room looking for the strange cat. :-)

It brought me smiles!!! What a noisy, yet cuddly guy! However, the two
cats here are very concerned for their colleague, and are even more
concerned that nothing like that is going to happen to them.

That really is funny. I wish Pearl was just vocal! He's so beautiful.
You guys have always been a match made in heaven.

The video is in h.264 which requires a decent processor to play. Sorry
about that. If you have the latest version of Quicktime it might play
better, but if you are stuck with an older system, such as a Pentium
II or a G3 Macintosh, you're not going to get much.

I love how other cats mentioned in this thread react to the video;
that's hilarious. Lynxie has learned to ignore sounds coming from the
computer over the years; he probably eventually realized that anything
he can only hear, yet not see and smell isn't a threat.

His mouth did stay mostly shut during the mewling. There were only a
couple of instances when he opened it, when mewling louder than the
other times.

Our Dustie came running downstairs to see what or who was making
such a noise.... she's still sitting in the window looking for
that noisy cat....

You can tell that he's been handled constantly since he was very
little.

Good to see Lynxie agan! Caliban was cuddling on my arm (still is - it's
hard to type with one hand) and looked at the screen like 'STFU - I'm
trying to relax here!' Miranda came running from the other room to see
who was in distress and why.

Similar to the reaction I got here! Buster looked, then went back to
sleep on my lap with his head up against the armrest. Dot stared,
looking very concerned. But then, Dot hates getting her claws
clipped. I usually only get one or two at a time with her, and I also
need to use regular nail clippers instead of proper claw clippers with
her, to get better speed and angle.
