get it? A friend of mine (who is unemployed at the moment) went and got a "free" kitten from an ad in the paper. He told me he was going to have it 4-paw declawed as soon as he saves up the money. I blew up at him!! I tried to tell him as rationally as I could how bad declawing is and he was not listening so I developed a more urgent tone in my voice. He thought it was "funny" that I was getting so worked up! I also told him he could have spent less money by adopting a cat from a shelter that someone ELSE declawed already!
Anyway, I kept pushing my point and told him the cat could possibly become a biter or develop litterbox problems if he declaws it. He said "If the cat won't use his box, the cat goes out the door!" I really got mad then. By the end of the conversation he said "I will get a scratching post and pray about it." (Whether or not he should have the cat declawed).
This guy is a great person but CLUELESS about cats. He doesn't even particularly like them. BTW, I printed up a declawing article complete with very graphic photos
