wrap him up tightly in a blanket and only expose one paw at a time. He will wiggle and try to get out but you should be able to hold him long enough to get at least the front paws done.

First, try clipping his nails when he's really tired out from a long walk. Then, get him lying on his side. Is this a puppy who's just scared of getting his nails trimmed? If so, the way I did it with my only puppy who ever tried to bite, was spend a couple of minutes playing with his feet. Then just pretend to clip his nails holding the clippers really close to his feet and let him get used to the sound and realize nothing's hurting him.
Do that a day or 2 depending on how he reacts, then actually clip just a tiny bit off the tip of the nails, and depending on his reaction, continue to do all of them. As he gets accustomed to it, he should settle down. If he tries to bite, tell him no very firmly but you need to stay calm if you want him to. He'll get used to it!

Cats claws are like those renewable pencils; top piece comes off/chewed off and there is another. Nature has her "own" way. Go to the woods and get a hunk of cedar for your cat to scratch. LUCK from Brian&Stimpy

Have him de-clawed. It's not as cruel as people let on. They heal really quickly, and they have no problems using their back legs if they need claws for any reason. If he's an inside kitty, he'll never even need to. We've had numerous outside kitties that were declawed, and it never hindered them in any way......they were able to shinny up trees and over fences just fine.
As for the biting part, when he nips you, pop him on the nose or on top of the head....gently, just enough to get his attention, and then stop playing with him. He'll soon get the idea that if he wants to play he can't do that.

Declawing is good for an indoor cat, and It may be worth it to you, but do not let anyone tell you it's not painful. Hell, they remove the equivalent to the tip of your finger to your first joint. OUCH! It does heal nicely and cats seem ok with it over time but please be informed before you put your cat through any procedure.

mine does that, he's a brat hehe. most groomers trim claws for a very low price, or you could always do it at the vet but my vet told me to take him to the groomer every 2 months or so to get them cut

u should NEVER declaw a cat because he will bite more because that will be his only defence so i would get a vet to cut his nails for you

Wrap him tightly in a big towel so that only his head and one paw sticks out. Do each paw and return it to the towel.
