Start when they are young. #1 was being buzzed down at 3 months. We didn't get #2 till he was over 10 mos old and he was way too freaked out for months after that.
Eventually, he experienced Stockholm Syndrome, and he has tolerated it it well enough for 5 years now. Actually, cat #1 is the more difficult one to do, he is down to 14 lbs from his peak of 27. He has acres of loose floppy skin and slick fur. If #2 encounters something really bad, like going to the vet, he just collapses and it's easy. #1 keeps working at escaping.
I generally set him on the floor near food dish, (that has treats in it) and commence to grinding. He knows the sooner I'm happy with his pedicure the sooner he gets a snack. Glad I don't have to bribe the other cat, he really doesn't have any addictions I can exploit like #1.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
