i liked my black cat, although he was a bit evil, we had to get him declawed he scratched up my friends leg really really bad, but even after that he still attacked people he just bit instead. We found our cat outside when he was prob 2 weeks old and the vet said he would most likely die, we had to bottle feed him kitty milk replacement and everything. And he grew up into one fat cat. But when my sister had her cats at my moms our black cat salem got out and someone picked him up, she thinks the neighbor mighta stole him but that ladys a jerk and says she always had a cat when it was after hers ran away that she noticed one that looked like ours in that ladies window but oh well. my parents moved away from that apartment now anyways.

We're getting a fence put up now (we ran out of screws!) We're gonna fence them in in the one corner.

It's actually REALLY hard to keep them on a chain. He wears his chain down so much we have to replace it every year because the chains become so wore down they just pull right through each other. His collar is thick leather that's riveted about 4 times to make sure it stays together. He's no puppy!

Aya, it's so cute when they sleep on their paws! My cats do it too!! Talk about baby, lol, she wants to go for a ride!

Another funny story (I got a few obviously Very
Happy) We had a ceramic cat and I was holding it in my lap. I kept meowing and my dogs (who've never met a cat, this was at my old house) were wigging out, lol. They kept sniffing at it and barking and scratching the floor. *sigh* I miss them...

Asia is a silly little creature. She loves to camp out on clothing, investigated everything we brought in for the baby (crib, car seat, stroller, glider), and loves to snuggle at night. She's also very good with Alyvia and patient. Alyvia loves to pet her, and when she gets a bit rough Asia will just sit there and take it, or will get up and move away. She never bites her, and will only occasionally bat at her (and because she's declawed, there's no danger of that hurting her).

We adore her so. She's such a good girl.

Laura, that's how my Asia is! She's sooo tolerant of Gabe. He loves to pet her, & he'll occassionally pull on her ears or fur or tail, & Asia just sits there & takes it. She follows him around & seems to want to make sure that he is safe <3

Marie is a really calm kitty, we took her to school for blessing of the animals and there were about 8 kids petting her at once and she didnt care. Well then one kid did try to choke her! and when I told him to stop he hit me!! Then when I picked up Macy she said the same lil boy hit her... if Macy comes home telling me this kid was mean again Im going to call and complain that they arent watching that kid enough. He seems like a snot

lol, his name is butt hole, but the adult version.

De-clawing cats always seem to make them meaner. You're taking away their form of defense. I understand why you did (I'd be mad if a cat shredded my leg too!). My dad's cat completely turned after we de-clawed him. I was so upset Crying

In general, meaning most, not all. Yours isn't mean at all, and my dad's was the meanest I've ever seen.

I'm just responding to your comment that "declawing cats always seems to make them meaner". I'm letting you know that it isn't always true.

my kitty swampie is declawed but Marie isnt. My mom decided as long as she didnt claw anyone or the furniture shed leave them cuz she feels bad for swampie.

I prefer to keep them trimmed instead of taking them out. but then again I like taking my animals to the groomers. its fun to take them in public and see how pretty they are afterwards.

My kitty is an inside kitty and I REFUSE to declaw her.

If we were to declaw her and she got out, HOW would she defend herself??

Her sharp "inside"claws are WAAAY sharper than ANY outside cats claws.

so i thought the little puppy was real in the first one lol. I was gunnab like wow youve got one giant dog!


LOL Dani. I have that picture as my screen saver at work and about 4 people have said "ahh...when did you get a new puppy?"

My mil gave that figurine to me and the day that I put it up in my china cabinet which has glass windows. She came out of the bedroom and saw it and instantly smashed her nose up to the glass. So I took it out and got the camera and said "Kaira...whats that?" and she made that face at it.

It was WAY to cute and the pic doesnt do it justice

I definitely don't advocate declawing cats just for the heck of it. We declawed Asia because she was way too violent when she played. I have multiple scars on my forearms from the massive scratches she gave me when she was a baby. We declawed her front paws only, and had it done at the same time as her spay. She never seemed to notice - she seemed sore from her spay but that's about it.

Declawing was a good decision for us, and I feel we made the choice for the right reasons. I wouldn't push declawing on anybody who was opposed to it, but I DO want to say that declawing does not always make a cat more violent.

I think this is the most common form of miscommunication on the web. Many people understand generalizations to mean "all" or "every single one", and many people who write posts using generalizations do not mean "all" or "every single one", at all.

My kitty is a BITER! LOL!

I can understand why MANY MANY people declaw their kitties. ESP if the kitty has no urge to get outside.

But Jazmine will B line STRAIGHT for the door as soon as it opens. And she's spent the night outside when she escaped.

We heard a cat fighting and I was just greatful that she HAD her claws. Even though it wasn't her...that's the FIRST thing that popped into my head.
