I am not a cat lover but their would have to be some bloody good reason to
make me to maltreat a it.


Doesn't make sense. It should have said:

I am not a cat lover but there would have to be a bloody good reason to make
me maltreat it.

Sorry

She said she *clips* their claws. You know, trims them - clips off the
needle-sharp points.

You are absolutely correct. Linda -SORRY!!!!!!!!!!

Off like a bull at a gate. Must stop and think. My only feeble excuse is
that I do tend to see red when I come across de-clawing. Again sorry.

Okay the claws can be out but not in an attack mode. They are still safe.

I think that kneading is used by kittens to encourage the mother to turn on
the taps for feeding. Perhaps it's a submissive signal when older?

I've always declawed my cats because they are always indoors and if I
don't, they will claw the furniture and me. Since I have expensive
furniture and don't want scars on me, I've found the declawing a cat
is the best way to accomplish our mutual goals.


Are you a person of diminished mental capacity? Because I have four cats, and
have neither shredded furniture, nor skin. In fact, most of the entire
continent of Europe also lives with clawed cats. We've managed to train them
not to scratch innappropriately. Why can't you?
Pity your cats.

those of us who do such things are savages, but I don't care. I love
my cats, and my cats love me, declawed and all. But of course, they
are NEVER allowed out doors.


Surely, you're not serious.
