Hi,
I have a couple cat questions. First, I got a 12 week old puppy last two weeks ago. He is already over 20 pounds. Last week, my roommate got two 12 week old kittens. They are 6 pounds together. I was very worried about putting them in the same room because the puppy is very active and I was afraid he would scare the kittens into scratching him badly. I took the puppy to the vet for the remainder of his shots, and the vet suggested we just put them in a room and let them go at it. I didn't like the idea, but my roommate and I tried it. We both watched and if it got out of hand, we picked up the puppy. No one got scratched or bitten, but the kittens hissed, spit, and tried to scratch. I am wondering, is this the best method? Should we try this every night, or are we moving too fast?
Also, my roommate wants to get the cats declawed. I feel very strongly against declawing as it seems inhumane to me. She has decided to try SoftPaws. Has anyone used this product?
Thanks!!
