I love my cats and my newest edition winston loves to scratch things.. especially my record collection. There must be something about the type of cardboard or paper that the vynal covers are made of that he likes. Just this morning i walked in my room and he was going at one of my Eric Clapton records. At any rate he always scratches the records if i leave them out and i was thinking of getting him de-clawed. I tell him no always and remove him and put him on the floor. he just does not listen to me. i talked to my friend about it and she said it was cruel because then the cat cant defend itself from a dog or whatever, but he is an indoor cat... So.... What do you think?
