If you're going to do it, do it when they're young.

I've had my share of torn up shit over the years as well, but I just grumble and deal with it.

That is what my vet said too. My vet won't do it when they get over a certain age. I think it's the vets that declaw the cheap way and no matter what the age is of the cat that give declawing such a bad name.

Please, please don't declaw your cat if she's 13 years old. A number of vets I've talked to say it's harder the older they are. If you are going to do it, do when they're little.

1- He is a freak of nature and has extra hair growth on top of his head. I have never seen another Persian that has this feature.

2- He has the correct coloration for a lion (albeit a miniature one).

3- Last but not least, if I don't he will be as in the second picture below:




lol beautiful cat :)

I too have dealt with my cats ruining stuff through the years and yes it pisses me off. I have come to terms with it and it is all part of the deal. I have come to the conclusion that I love my animals more than I love my stuff lol. I know it sucks sometimes but the tradeoff to me is worth it. My kids also ruined stuff but I can't De-hand them.. :)

I would not own a cat if it wasn't declawed. Tried it one time. It did not work out well.

Totally agreed. It's NOT inhumane either. BTW, it's the front paws that are weaponized against furniture. You don't need to declaw the hind paws. In fact they will use them to scratch themselves.

He's 17 years old and we've had him since he was 7 months old.
I got good news. I was all worried that it was a tumor or something, and the vet was worried. As it turns out, he's got a liver issue, but apparently it's something that is likely not serious and doesn't even require treatment. So we dodged a bullet.

Different pets for different people I understand that :) I have had both cats and dogs and love both but that's just me. Oops my bad you were referring to de-clawing, I can understand that too. I personally think it's cruel but I have had a cat de-clawed so there ya go. I see both sides and as long as the cat is indoors and loved it's alll good to me.

I agree, when you don't have kids, you invest more in your pets.

Give yourself a few days to grieve, and then get a new kitten. :thumb:



I agree so much, any animal you befriend for so many years is heartbreak when they must go. I have lots of memories of my feline and canine friends whom I have outlived :( I love them and miss them as if they were my children. I'm thinking maybe we should get Galapagous turles since they live to over 100 years. It always sucks to lose a loved one.

This thread makes me sad. :(

I really miss having a canine companion. There's nothing better than coming home from work and getting greeted w/ slobbery kisses. Granted, Gonzo does that sometimes... but still. Heh.

Cute pets, everyone!
