Obviously. Gods knows I've been dragged over the coals and I don't think
that it's been terribly fair. But that's just IMHO.

What's not terribly fair is that you mutilated your sister's cat without trying
other options, and then you come here and try to defend it.

Thank you for the links. I'll pass them on to sis...
In the meantime, he gets warm formula. ;-)
Maybe he is spoiled, but that's ok for now.

formula is bad for a child of that age...... its created as a food not a
drink,

Yes, they should, but a 12 to 14 month old baby is NOT old
enough to be told "no" so has to be protected from overly
aggressive cats.

I am not going to apologize for helping my sister get booger
declawed. This was an unusual case of a cat that tended to
swipe more than any cat I've ever known... It will also
protect the adults.

I had Max declawed because of aggression. But not because he
scratched me, I get scratched all the time anyway.

He was rough with the other cats. Not mean, really, he just
played hard. He tackles with such force, they make a loud thunk
when they hit the floor. Occassionally, one gets it's nose
scratched, but he's not the only one that does that.

Unfortunately, Max doesn't get along with the dog. They never
have liked each other. The dog will just be standing next to the
couch and here comes Max, slinking out from behind it. Then he
jumps on the end table and smacks the dog in the face. He got
him in the eye once and almost blinded him.

Max laughed at the Soft Paws and chewed them off in two days.
Nail trimming? Out of the question. He howls, kicks, bites,
claws...by the end of it, he's panting. To keep his nails dull,
this needed to be done once a week.

Trying to keep from declawing him caused more stress than
declawing him. So, he had the laser surgery. His paws were
never tender and he's never had any trouble. In fact, he behaves
exactly as he did before. Except now, he can't put anybody's eye
out.

Thank you. :-)

Did you notice that there were no comments from the peanut gallery?

Yes, I did notice...
I got raked over the coals for helping my sister to declaw ONE cat,
while caring for 36 others without even considering the surgery. This
post by someone else got ignored.

What's up with that?

Thank you, Soozy....I felt terrible when I did it, but it *was*
just a totally reflex reaction. And I didn't expect the mouse to
bite, because I've taken them off my cat before and they never
did. It was ironic that this one bit me just seconds after my
husband said, "You know, they do
bite,
don't you?"

yes I can imagine how it was...... it all happens so quickly!



It does happen quickly. Just like dog bites and cat scratches.


Score... ;-)

They contradict each other all the time.

In other words, you recognize that declaing is wrong but since you
"only" did it to one cat, that makes it okay? Astounding.
