My Sister Rescued 2 Cats that She Can't Keep Not a Good Update Pg. 3

Maybe I'm missing something here, but did anyone think of Soft Paws???

They're like Lee Press On for kitties. It covers their nails so they don't do any damage.

Declawed cats will bite, have litterbox issues and develop arthritis in their paws.

Moosmom,

Soft paws where mentioned.

My sister thinks that would be worse then declawing. She said she's never going to agree with me on it and then she started bringing up how some people think it's wrong to spay and neuter animals but it's necessary to control the over population of animals as it is.

I wish I could do something. All I can do is just to keep offering.

I am sorry that your sister wont listen to your advice, I hope Gus has a happy long life.

Melissa,

I know how difficult it must be for you. Trying to educate someone who has their mind made up is like slamming your hand in a door.

I used to get so angry when people would talk about declawing their pets. While I don't agree with it, and yes, it CAN cause all the things I mentioned above, if they're going to fix them and declaw them, do it all at once and don't make those poor babies go through such agonizing pain twice. That's a sure sign for trouble. I'm not changing my mind about my disgust for declawing. But if it means these two cats will get good homes vs the OTHER option, if you know what I mean, than so be it at this point. I only wish I could take them.
