Then why is it illegal in almost all of Europe? PETA
doesn't have
*that* much reach...

I'm not crazy about animal-rights fanatics myself, but
that doesn't
mean that everything they say is wrong.

Eh, assuming the OP actually has a cat that still has
claws, its
pretty clear that the OP intends to declaw said cat no
matter what we
say, which begs the question of why they'd bother to ask on
a
newsgroup when they've already made up their mind.

The conclusion is obvious.

guns are illegal in europe
many over the counter medicines in europe are illegal here

just because something is made illegal doesnt necessarily
mean that its automatically bad
many times politics trumps science

OK, hon, now you really are starting to sound like a troll. I gave
you the benefit of the doubt, tried to give you useful information,
but if all you want to do is argue, you'll have to find someone
else to engage with.

If you're really interested in finding solutions to your cat-scratching
problem, I'm happy to try to help. There's lots of info out there.

Methinks this is a clever troll (is that an oxymoron?)

For those where winter is still hanging on, how about a pot of my dad's Navy
Bean Soup?

1 lb. dried navy beans or any small dried white beans (soaked per package
directions)
2 meaty ham hocks or a large ham bone with meat on it
1 bay leaf
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1/4 c. chopped onion
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
8 cups water

Place soaked beans in a large stock pot. Cover well with 8 cups water. Add
bay
leaf, garlic, onion, pepper and bone or ham hocks. Bring to a boil. Reduce
heat to low;
cover and simmer about 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove hocks or ham
bone and chop the meat into bite-sized pieces; add meat back to soup. Add
more
water if needed during cooking. Heat through. Remove the bay leaf. Season
to taste.

HelLO I thought this was one of the NOT topics in rpca FACs.

It IS, and the FAQ link should be posted regularly. I'd do it if I could
remember the dang link!

Hi Annie,
I'm totally against de-clawing. I think it''s cruel and in humane myself.
What if your little beloved Mitzy somehow escaped from the house and
couldn't run up a tree to escape from a dog or whatever ?
We have the same probs with our 4 cats clawing up the furniture, but I
manicure them twice a month.
We scold them, but hey, you can always patch up
the furniture, but not your beloved cat.
I'm really not trying to sound mean, at all, just giving you my opinion.
Please don't de-claw her.

Just cut off the first joint of all your own fingers, first. If you
care for your furniture more than your cat, you shouldn't have a cat.

I feel like a real idiot for responding to this thread, but I did tell this
person what I thought. Being new here, I had no idea she was a troll :/
But, I let her know I was totally against de-clawing and why
