Pouncer's teaching Flutter his old tricks

YEOUCH!!! I never knew that Pouncer declawed himself, and now Flutter did it too?! YIKES!!! Is it that it gets caught and gets ripped out, or that they actually rip it out themselves?!

I just cannot imagine what they would be thinking doing that..."hmmmm... let's see how much this will hurt." You got some crazy cats!!

Pouncer Angel will have to fly by and tell her Little Protege not to do these silly things that make Ouchies, and not to teach Flutter how to do these things either.
She thought as Pouncer matured, he would taech the Young Cats the errors of his Kittenhood.
Oh well accidents will happen.

Yup, Pouncer declawed himself on two separate occasions. Both times he got his nail caught on something and it ripped out. Both times it grew in just fine. Thanks to Pouncer's do-it-yourself declaws, I knew not to completely freak out on Flutter. She's 100% fine.... I'm the one who needs a valium!

Even though I knew she'd be ok, and didn't need the vet, I still freaked out knowing my poor little girl had hurt herself. Even hubby got upset knowing his little princess hurt herself (hence the guilt trip I got over the fact that he repeatedly told me she was snagging her nails prior to ripping one out) He picked her up and started petting her and telling her that I was a bad mommy because she could have avoided her boo-boo if I had trimmed her nails.
