Comments (30)I have adopted 3 previously declawed cats...and I've had the same experience as oregpsnow. They were/are sweet, affectionate, and no more prone to biting than the other cats I've had with claws. And while I could never have a cat declawed, it is a great solution for people who don't have the patience or know how to get a cat to scratch appropriate places. Its also a wonderful opportunity for especially vulnerable adult cats to be adopted into loving homes. Ironically, when I bought Odessa home from the ASPCA she paid absolutely no attention to the old cat condo that all my late cats (with and without claws) loved. Nor does she seem interested in my most valuable pieces of upholstered living room furniture, but she does 'claw' the sofa in the office that would be shredded to ribbons if she had claws. Having said that, you do have careful when assesing a declawed cat. Before adopting Odessa, I briefly fostered another declawed cat, She was obviously frightnend and not friendly, but I thought I could make it work. I think the vet knew that this poor puss had problems besides her hyper thyroid because it was she who insisted on a temporary fostering before adoption. Because he had to be medicated and would not let me near her, so had to give her back to the ASPCA. When I looked at Odessa (she was not my first choice because she was a few years older)I could see that her personality was just fine. She let me play with her paws, purred, and jumped right into my arms when I opened the cage...and she has been an ideal puss ever since....See MoreIs there any solution to this?
Comments (15)Ok, so if richardallen is a dick that must explain why he thinks I have a ton of money AND a BOAT! Disneyrsh, I thought of that but the 2 homes are in different states and I really don't want to give up my job here. Thank you for being a helpful dick(uh...well... that other word then) instead of that other dick who wants me to give up everthing because of one little problem. Oh, wait, I must be the utterly severly stupid one he's referring to. Seems like there is one in every crowd. cmarlin20, the banks welcomed me with open arms when they ran my credit.The primary loan is an interest only that adjusts in 5 years. Busymom2006, I tried to have a more expensive home to live in but then I couldn't have the SUV Boat and CRAP richardallen doesn't want me to have so I chose a modest home to live in. I was really looking for something cheaper for the rental in AZ but found this one by accident and grabbed it. If I could find some cheap money or a rich Uncle to fund all this I'd be in better shape I think. Maybe he'd buy me an SUVboatCrap too!...See MoreCat in an apartment...any tips?
Comments (38)https://moderncat.com/articles/cats-carnivores-eat-like-one/ "Dr. Deb Zoran, a professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, said the best way to mimic a cat’s natural diet is to feed them canned food that has a protein content of 40 percent or higher and a carbohydrate content of 10 percent or lower. Eating canned food will also help your kitty meet their daily water needs. “Cats are used to getting a large percentage of their daily water needs from their diet,” Zoran said, adding that if a cat is primarily eating dry food, it may have a harder time staying hydrated. “All dry foods are low moisture, so cats that eat only dry foods consume less water and are more prone to dehydration.” Dry food diets can also present other health challenges because they are typically high in fat, carbohydrates, and calories. In fact, a high-carb diet can lead to obesity and diabetes, Zoran said. In addition, a dry food diet may also upset your cat’s stomach, since cats are not “built” for carbohydrate digestion and absorption. So what should you feed your cat? Zoran said it is best to choose a canned-food diet that says on the label “complete and balanced.”...See Morepetaloid
