My condolences as well. She looks like a sweet, contented cat. And what cat doesn't like a box...((Lakerider))

Lakerider, I'm so sorry about your kitty passing on.

She obviously had a good life with you. Looks like she was a huggable size 10 1/2.

Lakerider - so sorry to hear about loosing your lovely fur baby. She'll have lots of TE friends at the Rainbow Bridge.

Spindizzy - your two look just like the kitty that my vet has adopted as the office cat, and thinks everyone is a play toy. When I was picking up my kitties from boarding on saturday, Sam was out and about, so he got a "time out" by being put up on the fireplace mantle. Sam paced back and forth, back and forth, and s t r e a t c h e d down, and jumped down. The time-out spot will no longer work. Have fun with your two! They are cute!

One of my cats weighs more than some bicycles.

Have you ever heard of Soft Paws?

I've not tried them myself, but I've heard co-workers talking about them. They're like little soft plastic caps that glue over the claws so they can't scratch up the furniture. I'm not sure how long til they fall off and need to be replaced though.

My cats are declawed (yes, I'm a big meanie). This is a very weird comparison, but my grandmother had horrible ingrown toenails and had most of them surgically removed when she was in her 80's. We used to joke around that she was declawed too. She was thrilled with her "declawing" results and for some reason this fact made me feel a little less guilty about declawing my cats.

Oh, and your babies are really adorable!!!

It's not even close.... declawing a cat is more like amputating the tips of your fingers and toes.... The claw, a tendon and the end of the bone are removed. It is very painful surgery for the cat and it leaves them with permanently impaired balance. Sometimes it doesn't heal well and leaves the cat with very unstable, painful feet. I volunteer at a shelter and we also find that cats who are declawed who are scared or aggressive tend to bite without warning, as they are aware that they can no longer defend themselves with claws.
