Declaw! *GROWL* ... I thought this would be another word for "cutting claws" before Sharptooth told me. I couldn't imagine that it means THAT. *GROWLS* May be some people should be declawed ... just a few "unnecessary" fingers might teach them >:/

Glad to here he has made it through this adventure wi...

I'm glad there are other people who share my thoughts on de-clawing. Sometimes I think I'm the only one who has this opinion, especially with the dirty looks I get when I admit I let my cat *gasp* outdoors!

@jeb... the vet did tell us there was a vaccine at the time ((about 10 years ago or so)), but he said himself, they were hardly effective at all...that he didn't even recommend people wasting their money on it. But like I said, that was over 10 years ago, so maybe there is a more effective one now ...
