Trapped...

there is a heated cat bed that you can buy from Dr.s foster and Smith that is a deep padded basket with a barely warm heating element that you can't really feel but keeps the temperature at a warm comfortable for dogs and cats with aging and arthritis issues. Our geriatric Cappucinno spent much of his last year, curled in his bed and snoozing comfortably. It eased his pain and movement.

As for clipping their nails..... although both of my cats hiss, moaan and complain about getting their nails clipped, they both know that I am bigger and meaner than they are and the clipping is noisy and a bimonthly event, they do eventually forgive us and when they knead, it is ever so much more comfortable.

I got stuck for an hour on the sofa once when my Mastiff decided I was more comfy than the plain old cushion. She got me pinned with my arms up on my chest, so I had zero leverage to push her off.
