Pets

He was a lynx, and those claws were dangerous...especially since he was an affectionate beast who didn't know his own strength. I should have named Lenny instead of Panther! Since I do a lot of leather work, I kept a good-sized piece of buffalo hide by my rocker. I'd sit down, spread it on my lap, and he'd pounce like Gryff.
My current cats don't like the mani/pedi procedure, so I hit on a method to subdue them. I put a small, spring loaded clamp on their scruff's sweet spot. This calms the furry brutes down, and they submit to clipping...though they do have rather puzzled expressions during the procedure.
