Window shades & cat
I want a insulating window shade for a west facing window, but my cat
claws any fabric shades. Are there any good wood or metal shades that also insulates from heat well? |

"Soft Paws" are glue on rubber caps for cat claws. They stay on for
months at a time. Cat can try all it wants but won't be able to shred anything. http://www.softpaws.com/ -rev |

At least trim your cat's claws. Ours gets a weekly nail trim. Makes her more
house compatable. Being done each week, she gets quite used to it, doesn't mind at all, becomes part of grooming. Just to make it even easier for the cat, it is done when she is just wakened from a sound sleep that way she is still groggy and has little resistance in her.

Perhaps, but it's not so bad for the cat. Some cats never recover, emotionally. All the de-clawed cats I have asked simply replied, "What claws?" Some suffer horrible infections after the surgery. In that unlikely event, see my first suggestion above. -- JR |

Some suffer horrible infections after the surgery. Our cat has still never complained. If you're living in a log cabin, with hand built furniture, by all means, leave the claws. If you let the cat outside, leave the claws. Our prior cat tunnelled her way under the carpet and took the arms off the couches. Judging by the look on her face she found the scratching post amusing. I don't think it's horrible for the cat, but I find having our furniture destroyed pretty horrible. |

I don't think claw trimming really works, but when I used it, I found covering the cats head with a towel very helpful. |

Outside of he didn't know whether to sit or stand for a few days, he got over it just fine. As for going outside, I let him out as before. All the major asskicking Mr. Kitty dishes out is done with the back claws. With the loss of the front claws, no more torn up furniture; no more climbing up drapes; no more climbing up my leg. Actually, he still thought he had claws in the front, as he would still visit the scratching post to pat it every now and then. Emotionally? I'm sure he blamed the vet; not me. Hell... I saved him from whatever other devious plans the vet had for him. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE |
