Buffy, get off my sweater!
As most of you know, I'm new to being owned by a fully clawed cat. I'm
new to being owned by Buffy. I have a sweater hanging on the back of my desk chair. No reason, really. It doesn't get cold here. Buffy is perfectly welcome to sit in my lap when I'm sitting in this chair and even when I'm not. She does, very frequently. In fact, she's a rather clingy cat. The thing is, rather than just jump up with me she has taken to climbing (literally) up the sweater and perching on the back of the chair behind my head. That's an odd place to sit. I have to say kudos for the synthetic yarn! I would have thought Buffy would have ripped the sweater to shreds by now. Nope! Not even with her sometimes wicked claws has she managed to do so much as a few small pulls. That's what I call a sturdy sweater. The behaviour is getting annoying, though. Please stop climbing up my sweater every time I sit in this chair. She's decided climbing up my legs is a good idea, too. Yes, I clipped her claws but they grow back fast. This is the cat who was described as "timid". Jill |

This is the cat who was described as "timid". I'll bet she can be timid, depending on kitty circumstances. I was told that Betty was quite shy and independent. Which I can see - under some circumstances. I think front claws are wonderful - it gives them the proper confidence to be naughty and use both high and low ground. |

Jill, you just have to get used to a clawed cat. Everywhere in the world has them, except America. Shame on America to allow declawing. Your vets allow it, and I can say that if my vet declawed a cat as matter of course, they would be struck off from being a vet. I'm not sure why it's allowed anywhere. Only in America are cats declawed at the vets when the offer is get your cat declawed at the same time as spaying. If I told my vet I wanted Boyfie declawed, he would strike me off from being allowed there. |

It's ONLY stupid people who value possessions more than life that declaw cats, and even IN the US, where it's mostly still legal to do so, many Vets woudln't do it on a bet. |

I would never consider declawing a cat. BTW, that sweater is still holding strong. Synthetic yarn. And she's learned not to use her claws on my legs. Jill |
