My female cat hits my male cat with her claws in to indicate displeasure so why shouldn't you ? Um, let's see, maybe because a human weighs about 15 times more than the cat??? ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

"PawsForThought" wrote in message ... From: "icarus" My female cat hits my male cat with her claws in to indicate displeasure so why shouldn't you ? Um, let's see, maybe because a human weighs about 15 times more than the cat??? stupid argument as (if you read what I was saying) I am not advocating hurting the cat. If I hit an animal as hard as I could it would be dead and I am not suggesting it should be hurt at all. No doubt this will be taken out of context to suggest that I want to kill animals. |
