"MaryL" -OUT-THE-LITTER wrote in message ...
"Fashion Maven" wrote in message om... Brian Link wrote in message . .. I'm getting some conflicting info from googling this whole "introducing a new cat" thing. There is a viewpoint out there that a new male, in particular, will need to rassle with the current residents in order to establish the new hierarchy. snip I think I would get him declawed before exposing the other 2 cats to the interloper. Maven Brian Link, Minnesota Countertenor ---------------------------------- "I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers." - regmech NO!!! *Please ignore* this person who suggested declawing. How would YOU know? Have you ever tried it? Either on yourself OR your kittykatt? That is cruel and inhumane. I am beginning to think you are. For you to say let this male cat have his run of the 2 already there really stinks. Declawing is amputation. How would YOU know? Have you ever tried it? Either on yourself OR your kittykatt? Moreover, declawed cats have a much higher incidence of later behavioral and health problems, including biting, inappropriation urination, and arthritis. Don't listen to her. My cat, which was 7 when I "had him done" is now 14 years old and he is running like a champ. It all depends on how you treat them. It sounds like you are unfit for having animals. In addition, the idea that your current cats need to have the new cat declawed in order to "protect" them is ludicrous. Think about what that would leave the poor declawed cat to use for protection -- his teeth! Yeah, let 'em fight it out. You are a real beast Mary. Course, you always have been. You and that Liz beach. :-} (clippage of dogma and other half-truths related to a perfectly accepted (by most vets) and acceptable (to keep the peace) practice. MaryL Go back to Kansas toto, and don't let the door hit you where the good lord split ya'.

Looks like something is wrong with both of them. You need to get them to a vet posthaste. And teach them some manners not to be getting into all the furniture and pictures. A week's recovery from declawing would do them a world of good. Just my feelings.... Maven |
