Safest way to hold a kitten when clipping his nails?

I have a kitten who squirms and squirms if I go to cut his nails. He's still very small and hard to hold on to. Whats the safest way, if I have no one around to help me, to hang onto him to cut his nails without me hurting him/him hurting himself from all the wiggling?Safest way to hold a kitten when clipping his nails?
Wrap him in a towel and only take the paw you need out.Safest way to hold a kitten when clipping his nails?
You should invest in these things called (soft paws) they are rubber slips that fit over the kittens claws this is a much safer alternative to cutting his nails (you could also take him to a groomer). hope this helps.
