Here's an UPDATE on the rescued Persian

[Medusa]

the poor thing was declawed on ALL FOUR PAWS!!!!!!

Y'know, a friend of mine just adopted another kitten and I know that in the past she always had her cats declawed. I was trying to think of a way to approach her about not declawing the kitten when she said to me "My vet told me that there is an alternative to declawing, that I can clip their claws". I couldn't believe that she didn't know that! I said "I clip my cats' claws every other week". She said "Really??? Well, my cats don't really like to have their paws messed with but we're playing w/them to get them used to it". She actually seemed surprised when I told her that I clip my cats' claws. (I left out the part about Yodie knocking the clippers out of my hand every time. LOL) I told her about Soft Paws, too, and that really surprised her.

You've done a great job. He's a beauty!

I'm so glad you found him a new good home quickly but I guess in Poppy's opinion not quickly enough. Sounds like our guys Poppy and Rocky are twins - high stress guys.
