Alley cat gang. the most feared gang in London

Noticed a couple of Jakey's claws had overgrown, so I gave him a pedicure today - Sonic was always a right sod about having that done and I had to take him to the vet to have his done because it typically took 2 people including an experienced cat-wrapper to hold him still for it.
Jakey bless him I can do his myself at home. He looked slightly startled when I trimmed the worst one that was starting to press on his paw pad a bit. World away from the fuss that Sonic used to make. Radar used to be really easy to handle back in the day too, never had any bother doing his, but he died younger and didn't have the same issues.
Paws are all now in good shape with appropriate length claws.
What can happen sometimes with elderly cats that they don't strop enough to pull off the outer dead (claw-sheath) layers so they get really thick claws, or they get arthritis in their toes and can no longer fully retract their claws, so the claws can grow into their paw pads without appropriate maintenance.
Job done anyway, nice and easy with my sweet Jakey :)
 
I got a cat wheel, here is my wife putting on the final Velcro for the carpet bits to go on.
Took my two days to assemble it, needs a bit of sandpaper to stop part of it rubbing when is rotates.

It is big enough for a child to run in it. Cats have been on it a few times.........
Might have been a waste.
