that's cool how does he travel? oh a leash? Shaina now ventures
into the hallway, outside the apartment, but not too far and if the door closes, she makes these incredible jumps for the handle. i've also taken her downstairs, to the lobby and she explores, but very cautiously. i don't want her to be afraid of stuff. i will need to travel with her at some point, and i also don't want her to be afraid to go to the vet, to be afraid of the outside. -L He's on a harness & Leash. She carries him mostly while shopping with the leash around her wrist just in case, but that cat is so oblivious to any hustle & bustle around him. Or in Petsmart he always sits in the buggy and she holds the leash. She started by taking him *everywhere* and exposing him to lots of people, as a kitten. It's weird. People don't pay much attention to dog companions, but when somebody's got a cat with them, they act like they've never seen a cat before. Sherry |

enlightened us with... To: itty Sherry Sounds like your next step is to stand on a streetcorner and scream...I defend my right to have my own views. Damn anyone else! Um... We ALL have a right to our own views. I can't tell if you were being funny or sarcastic or what from that post, but I sure hope you aren't implying that people *don't* have the right to their deeply held personal opinions. Especially considering how anti-declaw most people who post here are. I wouldn't change my mind on that issue no matter what. Damn anyone who says it *isn't* a horrible thing to do. Unfortunately, luvscats is having problems pasting the text she's replying to...and for someone posting from AOL, it's not that hard. And I see the same irony you're seeing....she's curiously quiet about declaw, for someone who claims to be such an advocate for cats. Sherry |

"Alison" writes Many, many people let ther cats out in the US and Canada , can you tell me what reasons they give for letting their cats out? 1. Their parents did it when they had pets as children. 2. They thought that's the way it is supposed to be. 3. They don't think about it. 4. They also believe that neutering/spaying their pet takes away from their abilities to be a natural cat. etc. Your generalizations never cease to make me laugh. Sherry |

And while you're at it, take a survey of the reasons people *who own housecats* let their cats out. Try a declaw survey and bring us some video of that, too. Sherry |
