i didn't mention it to her to "solve a problem" per se, but it takes the scratching it out of the equation.Originally Posted by otto
I don't know what issues you are talking about. My cats are not declawed, nor do they have behavior issues.
I raised one unsocialized cat who sent me to the ER a few times, but I wouldn't have dreamed of having her toes amputated. I taught her how to behave with love and kindness, patience and consistency. She's very sweet now, though she does have boundaries the other cats do not have. I respect her boundaries, and all is well.
the issue from page 2 that you just mentioned above. i know that hs ehas claws. that's what i said. you didn't say she was declawed. if you don't have kids and don't plan to have kids, it doesn't really matter if they have claws or not.
My comment:
Was directed to the OP, as you suggested they declaw their cat, and I said it will not solve any behavior problems, it will make them worse.
3 months or 3 years, it has no justification to me, you have had the cat mutilated for human convenience, because someone was too lazy to bother to train the cat properly. And that is why she bites. as you described in one of your first posts, and probably why she has inappropriate uirnation issues, as stated in your other thread.
As was already suggested, if you must have a declawed cat, please consider getting one already done from a shelter, the shelters are full of them, because people decide after they mutilate their cats, they don't want them after all.
so does she have a uti, stress, or b/c she doesn't have claws. haha. she's peed TWICE. both were from traumatic events. not because she's mad at the world.
