Did I really type that? Sorry - too much "water of life" last night.


LOL....I'm glad I'm not the only one who reads back over my posts and
ocassionally cringes....I mean, I must have misspelled "procedure" about
three or four times in one of my recent posts! Thank goodness most of the
people in these groups are generally very forgiving and don't hold it
against us.... :)

LOL I remember you.

To the unbelievers, cats can be trained. I have a new feral cat and she is
already learning from the others where to scratch and I haven't even had to
show her. Her first months were in the wild. This pic with her near a
very scratched up post is part of what teaches her. The others had to
learn before her so she has an advantage. My furniture is intact. My skin,
well, we like to play rough sometimes.

Yep, that's why I didn't mention anything about scratches, as there's one on my
wrist that's healing right now. We play a little rough, too, sometimes (and
it's from the back claws, not the front :o)

I deal with it just fine when it's evident others posting understand
that as well. I didn't get that impression from you.

There has never been a call yet for a nation wide ban, more's the

number of people.


You seem to rely heavily on anecdotal evidence, so here's an anecdote:
It's still widely done and widely requested. Attempts to ban it have
caused a great deal of controversy. One need only look at WQest
Hollywood. That's supportive enough of my assumption. I think it
supports my argument more than you little anecdotes support yours.


I've given proof and statistics in other threads and Lauren posted the
studies again here last night. Get your glasses out.

I have over and over. Simply the fact that you're irrational is why
you don't remember and it has never sunk in.


Cop out.
