He is wonderful.
I have an Eddie, too! She is a little mutt from the pound and I love her to pieces. You are very smart to handle Eddies feet, ears and brushing and handling toenails. I trained my Eddie to be okay with nail clipping by letting her hear the sound of the clippers and holding them near her toes. If she stayed still I would give her a tiny treat. She is also trained to sit at the door when she comes inside so I can wipe her muddy feet and belly.
Have a great time with your Eddie and be sure to give some extra lovin' to those cats!
peace
