Here's Buffy!

Jill


She's lovely.


Yes, she is. If she'd only stop trying to hold onto me with those claws
extended. She's sort of treating me like a piece of furniture, something
to be grabbed onto. It's not as if I'm trying to carry her around. When
she's in my lap and I need to get up sometimes ouch!

I'll need to get a lesson in claw clipping.


Ah, yes, I'd forgotten Persia had been front declawed. Boyfie has only
once grabbed me hard - he was so fast asleep on my lap, he rolled over, and
started to fall. Ouch, but very forgivable in the circumstances.
Although, he is often so ecstatic when he's on my lap that he cannot help
flexing his claws in and out slightly whilst he's purring. That's only like
pinpricks though. I've learned to put a blanket over my knee every time I
sit down. You might have to do the same ;-)
Actually he is very aware of his claws, he holds back from actually patting
my face when he thinks teatime is late, he just "pretends" to. He is also
capable of putting just "one" claw out from his front paw and approaching my
face with it if I keep saying "it's not time" and he thinks it is. Like
"I've told you twice nicely, now I mean it.." but he never would actually
touch my face with a claw. Which are quite serious claws. I don't clip
them, I think he needs them to go outside: he sharpens them himself on my
trees.
Buffy is very lucky you adopted her. She looks middle-aged plus, do you
agree? I'm sure she will bring you much pleasure and companionship.

Lots of luck with your new girl.

P.S. anything I ever adopted from a shelter or a bad home always cost me
megabucks in veterinary bills at first. Worth it in the end.
