I've heard people proudly announce that their cats are only declawed in the front, and they usually do see proud of it. Even prouder if they've mutilated the poor cat on all four feet!! Declawing is cruel and agonizing for the cat and I'd like to take these people and put each finger on a

Ug...it just makes me sick.. Well Fletch is hiding in the basement. He is still eating and drinking really well and wants to be petted. I just think he wanted a space of his own. He found a little box down there with bubble wrap in it. I'd much rather him have a nice comfy blankie, but he

Did you check to see if any lashes were growing inward toward the eye? Had one with that problem once and it scratched the eye, causing an irritation and infection. Had to constantly keep at that lash. As to the basement, my Annie came to me with a lot of baggage. Her owner died of cancer

RE: cats claws and furniture Have you tried the 2 sided sticky tape, I thing Petsmart and Petco carry it. You put it on places where cats have started cawing. For some reason, they don't like the sticky stuff and they lave it alone. After a bit, you can remove it and hey don't come back to

On can always keep looking until they find a place that does not require declawing. In a nursing home, the door to your room could always be kept closed so the cat had no access to other parts of the home. All this discussion about homes and cats has me wondering about the cats/dogs taken to
