Sweetie-pie, _some_ people have their cats declawed. It's
controversial, most vets refuse to do it in most circumstances, humane
societies and breeders generally include BOTH "must be an indoor cat
only" and "must not be declawed" clauses in all adoption/purchase
contracts.

I have happy cats, that have all their claws, AND mostly undamaged
furniture, because I've always provided appropriate scratching
surfaces for my cats, and taught them where they are.

As usual, when blathering on about the USA, you have no idea what
you're talking about.

One of the reasons I have bookie killfiled.- Hide quoted text -

i arrived!!!!! i have been killfiled!!!!!! fantastic!!!!! oscar wilde
said that the only thing worse than being laughed at was to be
ignored, and at least I am not ignored if someone is actually going to
the lengths of killfiling me.
you have no idea how much that amuses me that I irk someone so much
that they go to such trouble, ha ha ha! i truly think that to be
universally liked would be a curse, emans you are dull and samey and
forgettable, but at least I have riled someone so much with what i say
that they do this and they won;t forget me.

oh dear lord, you do not know how much that has made my day, very
funny, i am so pleased that you do not consider me to be on your
wavelength and that you have killfiled me, especially considering how
boring and pre-menstrual you yourself have become lately. Just
marvellous!

How does it feel bookie ;-) You are stepping up in the world

You didn't say 'some' though, this was what you said:

My cat is slowly destroying my green leather barca loungers, which cost
about $800 apiece... the most expensive furniture I own.

I may declaw him myself, with angle cutters.

You may be, but you cannot force me to read bookie.



Killfiling Bookie & Sheelagh means passing up a lot of opportunities to
stir the ****.

Plus, you lose a fascinating glimpse into the British education
system....

Um, well, on that last point, I agree with you. People here blather
about how AWFUL it would be if we had something like the NHS, but in
your country, people don't go bankrupt because of medical costs--and
the waits for treatment with your gov. bureaucracy do not seem to be
noticeably longer than with our for-profit bureaucracy.

I've always found it sad that people will get all riled about stupid ****
here(like Janet Jackson's wardrobe problem during the SuperBowl for
instance), yet no one really seems to care that it's not considered morally
wrong to have to pay for medical care. I'm sure there are quite a few in the
medical profession who genuinely DON'T care about money and just want to
make people(and animals) better, but you get stupid people suing left and
right for no reason at all or just refusing to pay period, plus all the laws
and such about what doctors are allowed to do and not do in terms of
care(which some are a result of unwarranted lawsuits), and you get a few
morons spoiling it for everyone else. If only stupidity were a crime...and
it's not just in the field of medicine that get ruined by lawsuits here in
the States. I thought the lady who sued McDonald's for getting her fat was
bad, but my mom heard about this one gal who was driving down the road in
her RV, and she had to go to the bathroom, so she puts the RV in cruise
control, LEAVES THE WHEEL, and gets up to go to the bathroom. Of course the
RV crashes. She's not seriously hurt, but she sues the RV manufacturer
because they didn't say in the manual you can't leave the wheel unattended
when it's in cruise control. If that's not bad enough, she WON the lawsuit.
I think she should have been locked up for being so stupid in the first
place, or just paraded around with a sandwich board detailing how much she's
lacking any intelligence. Whatever happened to a little thing called common
sense?! Anyways, back to the original topic, I don't see why it would be so
horrible to have a national health care system...I would gladly pay a little
extra in taxes if I knew it meant I could afford to see a doctor if I needed
to. Same goes with having some kind of similar system for pets. Especially
since it's vet time for the pets next month again. Well depending on what
time zone you're in, it might already be next month.

Dammit accidentally hit send before I added that if there is another post
where you did say some(for some reason sometimes posts don't show up.
Usually mine, but they show the replies to it), then I apologize.
