Summary: 

I began to clip my cats rear nail for similar reasons!

The first time I did, I used regular nail clippers (the
people kind!).  They worked fine for front paw nails so
I figured they would do the trick for the rear paws....
..... wrong!!  The rear nails are much thicker than front
ones - on Oliver's paws anyway - and the nail clippers 
tended to cut very poorly.

I got a proper pet nail-clipper from my vet ($9.00 Can.)
which makes a very clean and quick cut.  They work well
and because they are very sharp they cut quickly.  
Speed is of essence as Oliver's tolerance level can be
reached rather quickly at nail cutting time!!
