My wife and I recently adopted a 14 month old male neutered cat from a local animal shelter. So far, so good, however, I have some questions/concerns. First, we rent and the landlord expects our cat to be front declawed per our lease agreement. Honestly, I wish we could leave him alone, but we are about to make a decision on the clinic performing the operation using a laser method, which is less common but supposedly better for recovery. Right now, we have no idea how he will react, and it concerns me because he is litter trained and playful. I want to make him comfortable and thinking about a cat condo for sleepin and recovering. Currently, he sleeps on the floor or a chair despite the shelter giving us a cardboard makeshift bed and his favorite blanket that he rarely uses. What can we expect post surgery and does anyone have suggestions in randomly choosing a cat condo? Any input would be appreciated! We bought two cat scratchers for him and he rarely uses them. Thanks in advance.
