-see if you can take it to the groomer and watch as they do it
-when you try it yourself, it should get easier each time you do it as you cat will start to trust the situation more
-at first, as your learning, you may not be able to shave the whole cat at once.
I can compare it to one cat we have who hates having his nails trimmed. however, the cat has realized we dont do it to hurt him and that its helps him as it keeps him from sticking to the carpet. so the cat will be still for a minute or two. sometimes i can get all four paws, other times i cant. sometimes the cat will only stay still long enough to trim the front paws. then ill have to let him go and try again later.
You might have to do something similar with your cat. If it wont stay still long enough, you might have to shave it in two or three tries. As time goes one, your cat should realize you are actually not tryign to harm it and are helping it, and it should be more patient with you.
