Touch Their Paws
Although cats are affectionate animals sometimes, they can withdraw too. You might have noticed this while trying to trim or cover their claws. It might take a while because they keep retracting their paws. So, ensure you spend time with your cats to make them feel comfortable around you.
Once they are more comfortable around you, you should try to touch their paws in non-threatening circumstances. It will enable you to hold and play with their claws quickly whenever you need to. When your cat starts giving you its paws easily, it will trust you more and allow you to trim its claws without a fight.
