Kittens

One of ours was anxiety-ridden and always running from us for years - now she's around six or so, loves to talk, follows us around, and loves sleeping with us.

It takes time. Make sure they have plenty of perches where they can watch birds, toys they can play with, and water in cups - they love drinking out of cups. Also wet food once a day. Ours love the grain-free kind.

Oh, I should clarify. Our kittens ate wet food 3x/day. But if you can't afford it, at least give them wet food once a day.

Declawing should NEVER be an option unless we do you first.

Declawing the cat is better than killing the cat or abandoning it, which amounts to the same thing. You don't have to agree, but I have enough cats and don't really want to be in the vet's office on a Sunday crying while they put to sleep the cat/kitten you dumped to get mauled, hit by a car etc. AGAIN.

I have cats too pp. Why would your choice be between killing your cat or declawing them? Sofas and other belongings can be replaced and are not that important. Cats belong inside so they don't get hit by a car etc. If you can't take care of the cat than take the animal back to where you got it. Or give it to someone who will care for it.

Declawing is very painful for cats and you are taking away its natural defenses. Why would you consider it at all? What if they said I'm taking my kid's leg off because I don't want him to run into the street. That's better than death, right? NO!

to all those who will say I can't compare a kid to a cat: I am exaggerating to get my point across so no need to point it out.
It isn't my choice. It's someone else's choice and someone else's cat. Some people don't live like you. Not everyone can afford to be a sanctimonious prick.


PP YOU are the ASSHOLE in this thread, not me. What do you think we were talking about? My cats? NO! We were talking about Op's cats and everyone EXCEPT you was saying not to de-claw. It has nothing to do with me be sanctimonious. It is cruel and it is wrong. If people don't want their cats to be hit by cars than they do not leave them outside.

Go to HELL, pp

Lol. Sure you aren't a sanctimonious prick?

Learned a new word, pp and that is all you can say? You have no argument so you call other people pricks. Maybe you know all about pricks because you are the biggest one.

Good day, ASSHOLE
