Thread: declaw or not declaw?

Oh bless,sparkly ones next......
It proves though doesn't it that if she lost her front claws altogether it would taken away the ability to climb & what does a cat do best...... this way there will be a time when she will learn to sheath her claws for the important times & not need anything. I have always found they learn pretty quickly,all the damage to my furniture has been done in the first few months of being a scatty kitty & flying around,none of them have ever actually used it as a scratching post,if they looked as if that was their intention a firm no has worked pretty quickly or in the case of having the two together so eyes in backside was needed the water sprayer soon put them on the right track....

OMGosh! They have sparkly ones! Ginger is doing much better today, she acts like nothing is on her feet and she is back on my lap purring, no grudges today. I don't know that I will keep these on long term, I may not need them. But my daughter's cat, Penny definitely does! her couch is just shredded. I had a tabby/mc mix her name was Sheena and I also had a Cockatiel, when she was a kitten I used the spray bottle to try and keep her away form the bird cage, she got so she did not care if she got wet or not! She liked to sleep on the top of Daisey's cage, so much for water! Haha

does Penny look grumpy because she's jealous of Ginger's nice paweecure? or because she's ran out of places to scratch that couch on?

Penny is just that kind a girl, she definitely has a cattitude! Penny is the queen of her domain!
