They dont feel a thing. No pain. Just dont get too close to the pink. Usually the nail is long and there is plenty of room to work. Leave at least 3/32" before the pink for kittens. (just about 1/8") Leave bare minimum 5/32" for adults. 3/16" is about best for adults.
Clip from the side of the nail so you are clipping on the flat side not the front or rounded side. Then it will give a nicer clip with much less or no cracking at all. As long as you dont touch the pink or get too close you (and the cat) will have no prob.
Even if you have a tinch of cracking, still no prob as long as you are not too close to the pink.
