Well, I didn't have any choice in when they were neutered, they were already "fixed" when I adopted them at 10 weeks old. Well, despite having been "snipped" very early, they both turned out to be really large cats - not as large as my Samazon(RB), but 16 and 17 pounds big. Whenever I'd clip claws I'd have a hard time clipping Sammy's, not only because she fought me so hard, but because her paws and claws were so darn *huge*. Her paw, spread out, could cover the entire palm of my hand. Clippers had a hard time cutting through her claws, I was thinking of buying large dog clippers for her before she passed to the Bridge. Well, claws haven't been clipped in a while and Ozzy's are looking almost as big as Sammy's were. I may yet have to go buy those large dog clippers. Don't waste your money - (sharp) pruning shears work fantastically well for large claws. They clipped Fluffy's claws (and she was a big dog) when we couldn't even get her claws *into* the designated dog-claw clippers. Usual safety precautions apply! Pruning shears???!! Seriously or is that a joke? When I think of pruning shears I think of those great, huge things that take two hands to use when trimming hedges. Obviously I'm not an out-doorsy person and have never gardened, so am I just picturing the wrong thing? Wrong thing - secateurs (sp?), little more than powerful scissors designed for clipping off twigs (not branches) Yowie Ah, I figured it was some such. I'm definitely *not* a gardener and have no idea what a secateurs, but I think I know what you mean now and that would definitely do the job. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |

Whilst it won't make you less sad,the cuddles will do both your souls some good. Yowie Very sound advice Yowie - I really need to go hang out upstairs a lot more. There's really no big difference from my bed and the sofa (except all the conveniences of my meds and medical supplies on the kitchen table we put next to my bed). If I do that I'll spend a lot more time with Ozzy who tends to stay upstairs all the time. This is him just a minute ago. Does he really look sad or is it just me projecting? http://www.possibleplaces.com/OzzSad.jpg Looks like an adorable sleepy cat to me, but I don't know him like you do. Yowie He seems to be fine now, so he was either just having a sad couple of days or I was over-reacting - I'm prone to such after Sammy died so suddenly. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |
