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.... Ann -- http://www.angelfire.com/ca/bewtifulfreak |

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. http://community.webshots.com/photo/75552731/85147301OptGat -- Cheryl 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 ) Gary -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =----- |

... From: (---MIKE---) Lauren, I am just a "collector"! I also keep any whiskers I find in a different jar. During the summer, I work at a water park. I go in early and collect the coins (and occasional bills) I find in the various pools. Looking for claws and whiskers keeps me in practice!. ROFL!! Nothing like practice makes perfect, eh Mike? I heard from somewhere that collecting whiskers brings good luck. Maybe I should start collecting them too I wonder if you added colored sand to the jar of claw pieces what it would look like. I bet it would look neat and a real work of art. This thread is getting so big I don't really know where to respond! I do try and see the argument from all sides before I make up my mind. I'm deeply against de-clawing cats, but if being declawed gives it a home and saves it from being put down from an over-crowded shelter, I guess its a necessary loss (even though it is only necessary through the ignorance of the new owner). One could then argue the cat is better off being dead, but I guess this is a personal preference that not everyone would agree on. I personally would rather live life without the tips of my fingers than have no life at all. Mike (Different Mike to the thread starter) |
