The weird thing is that he does USE the litter box. He just seems to
get moody for one reason or another sometimes. I feel like he is
attacking my personal space on purpose. He knows what he is doing is
bad because he runs away afterwards. ??? It just seems like he is
trying to get my attention... ???

Yes. A vet recommended it. When I brought him in as a kitten he said
"Oh. A Bengal?" ... "Have you thought of having him declawed?" ...
"Because most people can't handle that breed of cat... and those who do
usually get them declawed to save their furniture and their skin." I
asked about the side effects, like I would ask for myself... and he
said there were no side effects. In fact, he said that his two cats
were declawed... and members of his staff who were cat owners had their
cats declawed as well. I swear... or else I would have never done it.
I feel horrible.

I'm going to make an appointment at another vet to check out the
kitty paws. I really hope he was not "butchered" or something. I
feel so bad. I hope he is not in pain. Thank you for bringing this to
my attention.

What are the side effects of a bad declaw? ... Or a declaw in general?
