about
You can ask me about ANYTHING, and I mean it. If I don't have an answer to give you, instead of making something up, I WILL find you somewhere to go where you will be able to find out what you need. My inbox is always open, and you are quite welcome to IM me on AIM. I think thats about all you need to know, but if you've got other questions...well...see above. =)

I live in an apartment with my mom. We want to get a cat and the landlady said we can if it doesn't have any claws. We aren't sure if thats ok to do to a cat. I no one other person who has a cat like this and the cat seems happy. What do you think?
My cat is declawed, and it didn't phase him at all. You may read on the internet or other sources about how it could be considered inhumane. I am a strict vegan and animal rights person, and I wouldn't have my cat declawed if I didn't think that it wasn't going to hurt him. We talked it over with the vet, my vet has 4 cats, 3 declawed and the only reason that the 4th isn't is because it got hit by a car and they rescued it, and its too risky to put it under anestesia. You just have to get this litter called Yesterdays News or something like it (recycled newspaper pellets) because its softer on their paws, and you have to start getting them used to it a couple weeks before the surgery. When they get home, they may be sore for a day or so, but then are perfectly fine. As an alternative, check with your landlady to see if she would accept it if your cat had SoftPaws, cat claw covers that make it so they still have their claws, but they have a plastic coating and can't scratch. Good luck!
