sweetdaisy, I've heard of the stuff to put over the claws. It does cost money, but I'm not sure how much to do that each month. Fuzzy had the removal done in a new way that involves laser technology, not any of the old style removal. You can ask Dr. Rachael at Neel Vet on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday for more info on it. Fuzzy is doing just perfectly fine and his paws look normal.

Fuzzy was the same way when he was a kitten, and now he is scared to be outside. The longer Smokey is inside, the more he feels safe and only know the inside, then he would be afraid to be outside.

It is just my preference to have cats declawed.

Last year, there was one at PetSmart that I wanted, but it was put up for adoption by "humane group" and a lady was rude (bad representation) when mom questioned her on the phone about why it says no declaw on the paper posted. Plus, those people will force contract to be signed and force visit into the home, which I feel is a violation.

People is much better off getting free kittens or low cost at an animal shelter.
