You took the cat under the condition that he be mutilated? That is pretty
cruel considering that you could have actually taken the time to teach the cat on how to use a scratching post. I think it is you who should have been declawed so you could have matched the lack of brain power and reasoning you seem to have. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "He Who Walks" wrote in message om... The cat was mom's and she died after a long illness. The cat had clawed up a lot of furniture in the house and no one else wanted the cat. The cat also had a skin condition which now necessitates a depomedrol shot each month. I took the cat on condition that it would be declawed so it wouldn't tear my stuff up. The others involved didn't really want that to happen but didn't want the alternative (euthanasia). "Kitty kat" is very happy to still be alive and is actually doing better now than when I got him six and a half years ago. So, for all you anti-declawers I would tell you to go get a life.

It's amusing to read your misguided rant "you could have matched the lack of brain power and reasoning you seem to have.". For the record, declawed cats do use the scratching post. Do a google search on that and kneading. Get back to us, sometime. |

There's is a line between idealism and reality. If there were an abundance
of homes (and, therefore, a tiny number of cats in shelters - as opposed to millions of them) it would be realistic to try to look for a loving home where declawing would not take place. I just don't see the fine line. It's a question of mutilating a cat for owner convenience, or not. Declawing isn't going to help the overpopulation of shelters...that's a fraction, and besides, declawing doesn't guarantee a forever home. Plenty of declawed cats get returned to shelters because of peeing inappropriately and biting. Sherry |
