Only 1, then later the day (or the following) you trim another one. Another tactic you could try is when your kitty is in a more relaxed state, trim just 1 nail.

They're trained to do this and it's usually easy & quick (I know that's not always the case for some cats though). I've given up and take her to a groomer's/vet's to get it done. Still scooping?

The Cat’s Paw Nebula (also known as NGC 6334) lies near the heart of the Milky Way galaxy in the constellation Scorpius. The Cat’s Paw Nebula looks like-you guessed it-toe beans. Some animal behaviorists say that cats knead and scratch on things as a way to mark their territory: The motion activates the scent glands tucked between their toe beans, which they use to signal to other cats that this is their spot. Not only do your cat’s paws sweat, but they also contain scent glands.
