My cat is thankfully very chill during nail trimming. And she only has three legs so I only have 75% of the work.
Awww, polite lady!
Honestly, mine isn't terrible, she doesn't bite or scratch during nail time, more just squirms and will try to bolt to the fridge for her post trim treat, ideally (in her lil mind) before any trimming.
I maybe am wrong here but it is not good for the cat

And maybe cutting/trimming nails is not same as declawing, it seems to atleast cause similar trauma for them.
I am not a pet owner, so please enlighten if i am wrong.
Trimming a cat’s nails is completely different from declawing—it’s more like giving your cat a manicure than anything drastic.
Regular nail trims are important for indoor cats. They help prevent damage to your furniture, reduce accidental scratches, and keep your cat’s paws healthy by avoiding painful overgrown nails.
It’s also a great opportunity to bond with your cat. With time, patience, plenty of treats, and snuggles, nail trimming can become a calm, positive experience for both of you. Start young if you can, and make it part of your routine—it’s well worth the effort.
well pardon me if i am getting this wrong, but this seems to not do any advantage to any cats. Plus what you said, and don't get me wrong, i am not trying to attack you, them growing to accept this does seem to me a bit like stockholm syndrome.
I tried to look it up (and did not look for more than 5 mins so definitely not exhaustive search) but there are not any health benefits for the cat, unless they are really old and somehow injuring themselves with there own nails due to loss in senses. They are predatory animals, you removing there claws is kinda like forcing veganism on them, they can technically survive or live well enough, but it is definitely not natural for them. (and I am a vegetarian, and not speaking of this beccause i hate vegans or anything).
