I have to agree with you Staci, this persons post often seem hostile, and one wonders if we have a troll in our midst.

When people feel passionate about something like de-clawing it is only natural they are going to respond as such, so if that is what you call bashing, then so be it, you can't make such statements as you have and expect no retaliation in return.

The fact you donot even own a cat, shows me you don't really know what you are talking about, your opinions are based on WHAT? I ask you.

If your intentions were to get a bite, well you succeeded, everyone is entitled to their opinions and to voice them, and I have always respected that, but you post in a way that is bound to cause contention, and anger people, with a very callous I could not care less attitude, so it hurts them , big deal, they get over it, and my furniture would be more important.
