OK, let me just say I've had my new kitten for about 8 days.
I've never owned a cat before.
This was a wild cat, and his claws are razor's at the moment.
His paws get stuck in my shirt when he's on my lap.
I've read some posts on here where people feel passionately against
de-clawing cats. In the wild, cats would need sharp claws to catch prey,
and climb trees to escape predators. In my house he has no use for them.
I'm not sure of the procedure for de-clawing or getting a cat spayed or
neutered. But why is de-clawing so terrible and a sex operation is not?
Is de-clawing extremely painful for the cats, while get a cat spayed is not?
Is there anything I can do to help him dull his claws a bit? He has a scratch
post which he uses, but he still scratches everything else.
Let me say I haven't done anything to my kitten yet & will only do so when
I'm informed properly about his & my best interest.
Thanks for any advice
