Goldie's Long Claws

It's the first time that I forgot to trim Goldie's long claws that damaged furniture and rugs; the last time she was scared of clippers and she hid under my bed. My attempts were useless, her meows were pitiful and I left her alone, but today she was mindful of those long claws that made walking uneasy and scared away my other cat Browny! I had to trick her into getting a claws trim, I filled a bowl with Purina's biscuits and slipped under the bed without making noises... slowly Goldie came out and meowed softly, her fur was messy and her nose dirty! " Oh, kitty, my adorable kitty, I'm glad you have decided to come out of you hiding; I have brought your favorite biscuits that you like, how could you have resisted for too long and kept away, and held onto your spite? " Let me hear your sweet meows that I adore and brush your fur full of dust and look more adorable than any cat in this entire neighborhood; Milly always thought her kitty was the loveliest around; I'll show her who has the cutest kitty to show off with nicely trimmed claws that once resembled that of a wolf!
