Further, I've heard reports of behavioral problems after declawing. I've never seen it, but I've never declawed. There are a number of ways to protect furniture from being damaged - scratching posts, catnip to attract to spots you want them, and sprays/tapes that deter from other areas, etc. |

Except, they do have one more defense that people who traumatize them by declawing them often find out about--when they feel defenseless, they can become biters. Declawing is mutilation. |

Sat, 9 May 2009 19:39:58 -0500 from Gloria :
of cats? I DON'T. Just discovered the existence of newsgroups, I guess? Rather than post six dozen of these little one-liners, why not post one or two articles on the particular topics that are of most interest to you? State your own views on the question that you raise, and give your reasons. That will spark far more interesting discussion than posting a lot of rapid-fire questions just because you can. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |
