Cat Forum / General Topics / August 2005A cat "helper"
This is something like the ego crusher. Our four year old goes down to the basement in the dead of night, maybe he's going to the kitty litter? I'd like to think so, although it would mean an overactive bladder. Then he comes back up with something from the laundry in his mouth (most often dirty laundry) and makes noise to get attention. Once? Okay we can deal with that. Try six times and every night. Now that he has some competition, a new kitten, he seemed to stop. Well next month the kitten won't be competition, he'll be declawed and neutered too so fimgers crossed.

Here we go again with another declawing debate !!!!!! > Here we go again with another declawing debate !!!!!! I know! Sheesh! Well, at least I figured out the block sender thing. If it gets to messy like it did with sneekers and Phil, I am blocking them. It reminds me when I worked for the govt. (yep the feds). There was an email sent via outlook express...well, the thing didnt have anything to do with most of us...well, alot of people responded to it by asking why they received it. Instead of just replying to the one person who sent it, they replied ALL. This went on for months! It finally died down. A year later, someone who must had been on extended sick leave starts the thing over again! The bottom line to this, please dont start this subject again. I think the poster was just talking about one of their cats...and inadvertantly commented on the declawing. The poster already knows how everyone feels about declawing. > kitten, he seemed to stop. Well next month the kitten won't be competition, > he'll be declawed and neutered too so fimgers crossed. Please do not declaw your cat. It is a horrible, inhumane practice banned in most insdustrialized nations. Take some time to learn about declawing and what it really is. I've found most people just don't know what the process entails (chopping off the tips of the toes at the first knuckle) and once they learn about it, they often change their minds. SignatureVictor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com Please don't declaw you kitty. They make covers for their little nails, kinda like false ones, and these will keep them from harming your furniture, etc. if that's what you're worried about. Imagine someone cutting off you fingers at the first knuckle. It's the same thing. And yes I know "it's only a cat" but we treat them as our children and would you do such a thing to a child? Cats are not our property, they own us in their own feline way. I've never seen the little covers you talk about. Is there a site on line with photos? > Please don't declaw you kitty.

There's a lot of useful information out there on the Net....... but sometimes the difficulty is in knowing what questions to ask! ;o) > That is so awesome! > I need to get out more.

I first saw the ad in Cat Fancy magazine. I have had them put on my cat several times. They last on her about 3 months. MLB > This is something like the ego crusher.

Not all Cats/Kittens will do this and even many that do can be disciplined in other ways that work. Declawing,as bad as it is,should at the very least,only be as a "last resort" when all else has failed. There are alternatives. To do declawing as a matter of practice is not right.

I hope you can live with your actions if you go ahead and get it done to your poor cat, who has done nothing to deserve it, it reminds me of those countries who cut burglars hands off, thinking that a solution to the problem, grrr it makes me so angry to even think people are still living in the dark ages, and that vets are still greedy enough to take money for it, bastards. |
