We covered getting rid of fleas and indoor vs outdoor cats in the last couple of newsletters. One other important item for me is the subject of declawing. Let me just say I am totally against it as are many vets. I won't go into the gory details but just do yourself and your cat a kindness and don't do it. If you can't handle it don't get a cat. You can train a cat not to claw the furniture and make sure you don't buy fabrics that they love to scratch, like wicker or textured fabrics. Provide scratching posts and toys and be patient. Your cat wants to please you but mistakes can happen. Just be patient and kind and keep the nails trimmed.
