Hi Everyone. This is a little long, so by way of introduction, please forgive that! Snowy is a really special cat. She is hard to understand, but I am taking it one day at a time and listening to everyone's advice. I spend a lot of time with her because I am in the study a lot. I talk to...

Hi! Actually, I did not realize that this was an antideclawing site. I just knew that it was debated heavily when I last heard anything about it. You bring up a good point though. If she just turns to biting instead, that would not solve the fundamental issue. Also, I didn't realize that...
