Feeling guilty....please help me not feel so bad.

I’m not quite convinced.

Could you use some more punctuation?

Indygrrl - Actually, it was that way when we moved in. My husband jokes about nude sunbathing. I’m not sure why it’s like that.

Perhaps you shouldn’t date cats.

Hey, ItsNotMe, welcome to the board! Nice first post, v. appropriate for the Pit.

Say.

How’s about you get to know us before you call us horrible and disgusting?

Just a thought. Thanks.

neutering a cat is doing it a favor, while declawing it is ruining its life. Got it? RUINING ITS LIFE. Nothing less.

Yes, LadyVenom should fel very very VERY guilty!!! she’s turning her cat to a disabled cat, NOT like spaying or neutering it.

You can curse and try to shut me all you want, you dont scare me off - instead you can try to acknowledg the damn truth - declawind should be banned, against the law, caput!
Why not cut kid’s hands off, for ruining the house?!?!?! HA?

People, cats, dogs, they breath - they have nurves, they are made out of flesh and blodd! furniture - can be replaced, they dont feel a thing!
So what, your guests will think less of you for having scratched furniture? So Fucking what?!?!?!?!?!?!

I hope your cat have its revenge once declawed. I rule for the cat!!!

This is going to make me laugh for the rest of the day.

CATIST!

I SPEAK FOR THE TREES!!!

It saves time to get it out of the way now.

Besides, declawing a cat is RUINING ITS LIFE!!!

I don’t know how you can argue we’re not ‘discussting’, with logic like that sitting on your face.

Hey, some of my best friends are cats.

What the fuck is a lazer?

:stuck_out_tongue:

Please ignore the screaming idiots in this thread. There are so many cats that are put down every day because there are not enought people who can take them in. Any cat that has the chance to live in a loving home is a lucky cat. You have tried everything else, and as far as giving it up, I don’t know anyone who would adopt a cat who will destroy their furniture when there are a hundred other cats they could adopt. People who say just give the cat away to another home are kidding themselves.

There is no reason why you should be expected to let a cat destroy your house. This does not mean you are “choosing your furniture over your cat.” There are not enough rolleyes to express my feelings about that sentiment.

I believe people who abuse, neglect, or let their pets breed uninhibited are the ones people should be directing their rage at. NOT people like the OP who are providing loving homes.

I have to say you’ve done that right thing Lady Venom. Some cats cannot be trained. I know, I have one. I’m no stranger to training animals either. I trained my first dog to follow my hand signals to the point where I could hide a ball of her, and through hand and voice commands I could direct her to it, even when it was up to 50 yards away from me… I have also trained several lizards so that they would be comfortable around people. Heck, I had my old cat trained to come when I called him. The one I have now, no dice. Luckily, he isn’t into scratching the furniture, just my hand.

As far as the declawing issue goes, I had no idea that it was such a hot button topic. I have known several indoor cats who were declawed, and were perfectly happy and healthy. I have to say, I really don’t have a problem with it. Simply from my personal experiences, it seems that cats who have undergone this procedure are not “messed up” or unhealthy in anyway. Of course YMMV.

I just have to say, this is one of the most beautiful things I think I’ve ever read. Thank you, you fucking nutjob.

Please explain how neutering a cat is a favor while declawing is ruining its life? How exactly is a declawed cat’s life ruined?

Glad you aren’t scared off by a little “shut the fuck up.” If you were, I would be concerned if somebody let out a loud fart. Ok, you believe it should be banned/outlawed. Why? (and please answer more than “it is ruining the cat”).

And what about the nerves (yes, nerves - not nurves) that are cut when neutering a cat? I would think the nerves at the testicles or throughout the abdominal cavity are greater and possibly more sensitive than the paws.

Well, it’s declawed, how can it get its revenge? Paw her to death?

Is it just me or does ItsNotMe’s posting style look eerily similar to that of Rock&Fluff’smom?

Just asking.

Emperor Penguin, that’s just cruel hidding a ball of your dog from her.

Well, obviously the anti-cat-declawing league has been alerted to our presence and we will be inundated with drive-by propaganda from the Pwincess Fwuffykins bunch.

Lady Venom, your cat is lucky to have you for a mom. Kudos to you for rescuing her from a shelter and giving her a loving, healthy and protected life. You’re doing what you must to keep you, your home, and your kitty in good harmony, and you shouldn’t countenance the guff from these goons who are posting in hysterics here today.

I think you missed a few exclamation points, carrot.

[hijack]Lately, one of my ferrets has taken to declawing himself :eek: Two claws gone, another deformed. Yet he still climbs any and everything he can (including up my legs).[/hijack]

English to German and back.

neutralizing a cat does it a preference, while the Declawing ruins her its life. It receive? RUIN ITS LIFE. Nothing smaller. LadyVenom, if fel very very VERY guilty!!! it turns its cat to an unfit cat, NOT like the Spaying or a neutralizing it. They cannot verfluchen and the attempt to close to I the everything to wish you, you, scare me, away - instead of you can try the verfluchte truth to acknowledg - declawind should, against the law, caput be forbidden! Why not hands of the cut kid away, for ruining house!!! Hectar? From people, cats, dogs out, it breath - they have nurves, them meat and blodd are formed! Furniture - can be replaced, it believe not a thing! So which thinks, your guests smaller of you for scratching furniture? Which!!! so, bumsend I hope your cat have its revenge declawed once. I arrange for cat!!! on

I can’t speak for cats but I’d rather be declawed than deballed. But that’s just me speaking…
