Thanks for the link, might be helpful in educating people. I think the declawing should be outlawed too. We really don't get that many people who ask for declawed cats in Arkansas, but there are some and we always screen for that. Gloria On Jan 2, 2006, at 6:58 AM, janine paton wrote:

Sherry, I'm so sorry for your loss of your sweet Hardy, I know it's hard. So many will be waiting at the bridge to show him the way - including my Pansy, and Prissy, and Lancelot - and my Nicky who died 1 year ago. May you receive showers of blessings for your work with the sick kitties.
