OK, MY new recliner is now duly distressed and christened. Three longs scratch marks and two punctures I DID say leather looks best when distressed, right?

SOOOOO...got out my clippers and clipped back nails on Emily and Eliot (they are front declawed)- not too bad. Emily was an absolute sweetheart. Good ole Dylan came with no claws at all. Did two paws on Robbie since I already did two while he slept last night. He drew blood on me but again - not too bad. He bit me but was pretty good. The came Lizzie. Good Gosh O'Molly!! I don't think the neighbors down on the end of the cul-de-sac could hear her screeching so I got hubby to help me Between the two of us and a huge bathtowel. I managed to bloody myself as well as cut one of her claws too short when she jumped so bloodied HER up too. My wrists are throbbing. My head aches. My knee and thigh is bleeding. Must I repeat this each week or so??? Don't those baby claws...er....needles... slow down their growth pretty soon??

Isn't it wonderful having cats
