Cat #PSA: If you clip your (indoor) cat's claws, at the beginning you need to trim a little bit every few days; as the quick recedes gradually, the claws can be trimmed shorter, and they'll be easier to maintain. I noticed that the cats are having an easier time controlling them when they're shorter.

Couldn't find the original source for the diagram.

@Ameboid my only issue is making my cat understand that cutting his nails is not an attack and he doesn't have to mutilate me during the process.

@hummussapiens I know what you mean, we were fortunate enough that our cats are used to it so it's actually quite easy and it takes less than 3 minutes to do each cat. There are ways of getting them used to it, with treats and positive reinforcement but it requires time, patience and dedication.
