She's a cutie!! Her name drew me to this thread....I am learning about the Egyptian gods in my Art History class this semester. Is that who you named her after?

About the declawing...I am firmly against unless it's between the cat having a home or not. There are so, so many ways to prevent furnature scratching. That thread above will explain about Soft Paws...something that is highly popular here (I need to get them too!), nail clipping, etc. I've even seen a ton of aides in cat magazines on how to clip their nails at home. Plus...a scratching post and a simple, loud "NO" can stop most behavior.

Take care! It was great to meet little Isis. I couldn't quite tell from the picture, what color is she? Is she a tabby? She's VERY cute.
