And please keep shouting it from rooftops! I posted earlier, but then started reading the thread, and it's starting huh? All things get ugly over time I guess.*sigh*I have rescued several declawed and dumped cats, and my biggest beef is their lack of isometric excercising! Yes they scratch the post, yes, it looks like they're having a fine time, but what about the push/pull motion that God/Mother Nature intended? They are releasing scents while doing these motions, but at the same time their muscles are not getting what they're supposed to get. When I rescued Woody who I got a call about roughly 2 years ago, he was living in the woods behind a hospital a half hour away from me. Nurses were feeding him for a while and then he got hurt. No one knows if it was a car or animal that ripped his (formally gorgeous plume tail) off, but it was only an infected stump when I mangaged to rescue him. Six months quarantine, and a tail amputation later Sweet Woody was never claimed, but was adopted by his sponsers who cherish the dear boy. I showed Jan& Doug (his adopters/sponsers) how to stretch his front legs out so he could at least feel the enjoyment of the push/pull as nature made him. And he is living soooo loved in a condo with 6 clawed kitties. I see him every two weeks, and cat sit..lucky me! Luckier Woody the Pooh!
