We started with the guillotine clippers and found it crushed our cat's claws. We talked to the vet about it and he told us about using the people nail clippers. They were actually easier to work with/handle and seemed easier to see the quick.
Agreed though, playing with the paws and getting them used to being handled is a good idea as is touching the paws with the clippers and using them while petting the cat do keep them from associating the clippers with pain. And don't cut too close to the quick, as the closer you get the more it hurts. Finally don't get them declawed. That's like cutting off your finger down to the first knuckle.
