 Get the recording of a clipper. That's number one. What I want you to do is when you're just sitting around hanging out at night, play that recording just for a second or two at a very low volume until the cat's ignoring it. That's enough. But the most important thing you can do right now is I hate to have you go out and buy a clipper. Maybe the groomer can lend you one. If you can take the clipper without any sound.
