More Important Stuff!!
	Perhaps to humans this is not something to discuss, but to the Cats of the world this is more important than food. DeClawing is a vicious method used by some humans to contain a natural act performed by Cats daily. Perhaps you see "vicious" as a rather strong term. Tough. Let me remove a few of your fingers to the first knuckle and then we'll talk about terminology.
	This is a totally unecessary practice that goes on for the sake of furnishings and possibly a bit of fear added in. Cats naturally "scratch" on objects. Some say it is the scenting factor, some of it is to remove the "sheath" that continually grows on out claws. I personally do not care why you think we do it. We just do it. Accept that and you accept us.
	There are solutions to the "scratching" thing. And these are solutions that work. My most favorite is the cardboard thingy my Meowmy buys for me. It is loaded with Catnip-Yummy!-and has the wonderful smell of cardboard as an added bonus. You can pick these up at most Wal-Marts really cheap! They last for months and keep us happily away from your smelly furniture. (Remember-you SIT on that stuff!) They also have a site you can visit-I just found this out!!! It is located at
	"http://www.worldwise.com"
	So...before you rip out our knuckles and cause us weeks of pain, and take away the very part of us that keeps us in touch with our wild nature, please conside other alternatives! If you just want something warm and furry to touch on occasion, something that will not play or get in your way or bother your stuff, please do not consider a Cat. Get a stuffed toy and a heating pad. They behave perfectly. We are by nature an active playful animal. We can find fun in a paper bag for goodness sake! Be considerate of who we are and what we are. Cats are only once removed from their wild nature! We love to prowl and stalk and capture things! Try it sometime! You may find it a whole lot of fun!!
