Status: offline 		Emerald, try this.....Wal-mart and all of the big chain pet stores have these corrugated cardboard scratchers in purple boxes.  They come in two sizes, small and big.  I get them for mine, and they absolutely LOVE them!   They leave the furniture alone, and they are also catnip friendly......

Declawing a cat is the equivalent of ripping your nail out from the root, and taking the tip off down to the first knuckle.   For anyone whose ever ripped a fake fingernail off, or worse, a real one, imagine that pain x 25, and no way to make the pain go away.  And that is the exact fate I wish upon anyone who does this to a poor cat.  Cats scratch, deal with it.......if your furniture is more precious, then find the kitteh a home where his owner won't do that to him.

Sorry, as you might guess, it's a sore point with me.

So is tail-clipping for esthetic reasons and cutting ears. (at dogs)

The only thing they should do still, is making it a crime with jailtime, in stead off a misdemeanor with only a fine.But......
we're working on it.

Nowadays our parliament is busy to make a law, to chip every dog, within 7 weeks of it's birth. This to prevent illegal import and mass breeding.

well i have decided against the declawing and well i have bought her those purple box ones before and she didnt really pay it much mind. the one that i had her was a curvy play thingy that had a scratchy section and carpet on both sides. then under the one curve had a dangle toy. she didnt much mind the dangle toy but loved laying on it and using it to scratch so now i gotta find it for her again or get her another one.

Maggie completely ignored them and is possibly the only cat who doesn't like catnip. In fact the only thing that worked was giving her an old rug of my mom's which she scratches endlessly. Go figure.

Status: offline 		my cats are atypical as well...catnip? sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. (not so atypical as I would have thought, judging by the posts here).. Em.. get several textured throw away things that you can find (carpet store: ask them if you can have the remnants that theyre gonna toss.. dont tell them its for the cats.. tell them it's cause you're short on money, but need to recarpet a small area. if they think there is a chance that can sell even a small bit of a seriously undesired bit of carpet....), home depot/lowes/etc.. the bits they cut off for custom jobs,, ask for the scraps. tel them it's for a student art project using a dremel or something...

LOL thats quite odd for angel too unless where she roamed around to she found him and decided it was time to come in LOL. Misty is always like that with you and i get to look forward to mystic starting that tommorow over my head cuz classes start up for another 12 weeks BLECH. Good luck on your tests.

that's okay, the point is that she has her scent on it so it's less likely that she will scratch something else.

HEY MONKEY! horrible thought: Cashie and Maggie together. <shudders>

Good luck on your new classes! I will be SO glad when my ceritification exam is over on 10/26. However, I may sign up for another one in December, if I can get 2 days off from work for the mandatory 2-day offsite class required before taking that certification exam.
