You've been hanging around Ruby too long

I agree. whether they do it with a laser or a knife, the end result is the same; a cat with less digits, poorer balance, damaged nerve endings, and less of an ability to defend themselves.
My grandmother despite my loudest protestations declawed a cat I gave her.
Whenever things went bad (like a scary cat outside the front door) he bit her. He bit her hard and left scars. She NEVER EVER complained about it. But if there are children or other pets involved, remember, a declawed cat is going to overcompensate for anything that a mere growl or hiss would suffice for another cat with claws. A lot of them have serious litter box issues , because, well, their toestubs hurt.

We saw a wonderful scratching tower with sissel rope at Petsmart for $129. I am sure that is cheaper than unneccessary surgery for poor little Tuffy. I found a site on what they really do when declaw for my mom to send her sister. It is expensive and awful. The cat is 3 months old and has yet to start scratching anything. He does bite some and that is a bit problematic for my 92 year old Mammaw but they aren't suggesting he get his teeth removed.

I'm happy to say that Foster as he's now known, is so very happy with at his new forever home. I'm glad I was a part of this journey.

...Maybe a new formidable set of choppers for Mammaw so she can bite back?

You should be very proud of having done this. What a wonderful thing you did!

You did a wonderful thing. You know my Nanny had a male boss with a last name Foster but everyone called him that. What an adorable little guy and lucky to have briefly known you!

I have a "puppy" again finally!

Meet Luna (I think that's going to be her name anyway). She's a ~4yr old Border Collie x Australian Cattle Dog. Smart as a whip and HERDY! Man, this dog has more cow than any of my "cow horses" ever dreamed of having. She was found as a stray in Utah and shipped to Colorado where I picked her up from my local humane society.

She's already made herself at home and seems to really love ear rubs. She'll even flop over with her head in my lap if I hit the right spot (after only 2 hrs out of the shelter!).

I'm gonna have an energy/herding challenge on my hands, but I'm looking forward to it, and I think she'll encourage me to get out and do more. Seriously thinking about trying agility. I think she could jump the Moon if you hung a tug toy from it!!

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Oh, beautiful dog!! Sounds like you two were made for each other.
My new kitty Suki flops over on her back too when you rub her ears just right....and then she gets a belly rub. I know how endearing this is in a newly adopted 'baby'.
I bet you are 'over the moon' with joy over 'Luna'. She's soooo gorgeous.

I think you'll have to do agility, not thinking, just do!
She'll love it. She'll also get in a lot less trouble if you keep her mind and body occupied.

Oh he is so cute! Well done badger.

wow, those are REALLY COOL photos!

Lisa where can those be found? I think Miss Tortilla would have a blast. It is so hard to figure out what toys they like. Heidi doesn't like any. Tortilla loves one of those rattling balls on a stick/string but has no interest in the bell balls.
