[Beware of Cuccos*]

^ That really is something to be proud of! Stupid question, but how do you trim a cat's nails? I'd think it would be a little weird since they're retractable.

I hate trimming my pigs' nails since it stresses them out so much, but at least theirs' are clear. Scuzzy had some black ones, but I got lucky since he would actually help me trim them. He'd sit still through the entire thing and let out a little whimper if I started cutting too close so I would move the clippers up.

You just clip'em as you would with many animals.
On most cats, you can see up to where you should trim as they're relatively translucent.
If your cat is not a happy cat and retracts its claws, you push down on its little pad and the claw comes out.

Boo to people who have their cats completely declawed. AND DEWHISKERED. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT !?

DEWHISKERED?!?! WHY IS THAT EVEN A THING?!?!

Cutting pets nails can be a pain in the ass.
There's actually tissue inside the nails, and people tend to cut too far back and cut the tissue, which is extremely painful for them, which is why a lot of animals put up a fight.

In a cat, it's called a "quick".
