I don't understand why an old person can't have a cat with claws.
Dealing mostly with feral cats, I have never been bitten or
scratched - what's the danger, I am 70 yrs old. And as I said,
bites are a natural defense for declawed cats!

How hard it must be to see the ones you love leaving so soon.
Your consolation may be that you have helped make their too short lives
better.
Bless you. And bless Garrett on his journey.

Thank you for the info that it helped with your FeLV baby's stomatitis. I wish
I had had that info 8 years ago!

The little FeLV kitty I was supposed to get does NOT have a heart murmur.
Unfortunately he has Hemobart non-regenerative anemia. He is being treated
with Doxy, we will re-do a PCV on Monday. He is not eating much. He is on
fluids. It is not looking good. I know the Hemobart can be treated,
Dr. Nicholas Dodman wrote an awesome book about cat personalities and
problems, including aggression towards housemates and people. It's
called The Cat Who Cried For Help, and addresses situations like
yours.

I love that book! In it, Dodman describes a cat in a recovery cage after
having been declawed - if that doesn't do it, I don't know what will!

Sounds like my Harley. He is the terror of the house and then he can be the
sweetet baby ever. Gotta love them. Can't get rid of them, would leave too
big a hole in your heart. Sometimes he creeps onto my lap, reaches up and pats
my face and then curls into a ball and goes to sleep. Other
My first feral, Shorty, got me 2 times, both my fault. My father had built a
house for my strays complete with lapped siding, a small porch with columns and
I got leftovers from a client's new carpet ($50.00 a yard, wool) to line the
walls and floor. Of course, we put in 2 styrofoam
Many older people are on coumidin and that really makes it bad for them to get
scratched. Some cats get carried away with their play so you just need to not
overstimulate them. You play hard and they will too. And then there are some
that don't play much at all. They just want to be petted
I had always been told that yeast along with garlic and onions were not good

My vet said to keep new negative cats seperate from positives until they had
the vaccination for felv and then just to be safe, wait a cuple of weeks to be
sure the shot worked. I have done that and my pos and neg cats all have had
free run of the house for 2 years now. No one new has tested
I live in the middle of the woods so we have coyotes, raccoons, and possum all
around us. For that reason, I do not let my babies out at night. They usually
go out for an hour in the morning and then are content to stay in the rest of

Some nursing homes require cats to be declawed in order to stay with their
owners in the nursing home.

My friend does that too and she's had negatives and positives running around
together for many years with no problems.
However, even knowing what I do about FeLV I would have been very hesistant to
bring a FeLV + cat into my house with all my negative cats so I understand
