Perfect thing for cats with claws!
I sent this to a poster that was thinking of getting her cats declawed, so I thought I would add it here as well!
To: Perfect Thing for Cats with claws!
Hi,
I am completely against declawing. My EX boyfriend had his cats declawed behind my back. Their personalities changed...I have heard that it changes them. It is unnatural. Please, really consider not doing this to them. It is soooo painful! They rip them out from the root and it is way up inside their toes! Imagine if someone pulled our fingernails off....his cats couldn't walk and bled for a week after and then didn't jump up or down on things for a long time. When they did, they are used to having claws to grab...so I saw them fall alot, and this really embarrassed them! They don't seem happy to me.
Anyway! Sorry to go on and on, but you can see how I feel about it! NOW, my two boys are not declawed and one of them was a terror on my furnature! He was destroying it! My other boy is just so sweet natured and doesn't like being in trouble, so if he did it, it wasn't while I was home...he won't even use his claws to kill bigs..he just taps them with his paws...he is sooo sweet! ANYWAY, I bought this thing..it is called SUPERSCRATCHER. It comes in a cardboard box, like the size of a gift box that you would put a shirt...you take the top off and they give you catnap in it to sprinkle on it, but that is just to get them to investigate it....my cats love it, I have gone thru two in the last 6 months. They last for awhile..cuz both of my cats are hell on this thing! It is made like out of cardboard...but my cats scratch on that all the time. As soon as they get up they go straight to it. I got new furnature about 3 months ago, and nothing! I have caught my terror thinking about it, but I just put him on his SuperScratcher, and he starts clawiing
The box is purple, walmart usually has them..I think 10.00, but WELL WORTH IT!

MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Declawing is a surgical procedure in which the cat "finger" is amputated up to the first joint, it is not just pulled off. I feel that amputation is a kind of mutilation. The only time I believe it is warrented is in the case of human owners who are immunosuppressed or are on anti-rejection medications after a transplant procedure or surgery, such as a heart or liver transplant. Bordetella (cat scratch fever) can be deadly to these individuals.
And it is true that the declawed cat soon realizes that it does not have claws and tends to bite more.

That is a great product! My mom has a crazy cat who was a terror with his claws. The Scratcher put an end to his destruction. You just have to try different things to see what will attract an individual kitty.
