Maybe these people might like a nice book about cat care and behaviour as a present, you know, one of those books that celebrates cats as cats and comes across as a lovely gift rather than a lesson?<br /><br />Humans commit atrocities every single day yet rarely do they get killed for their transgressions. We animals get one chance mostly. A dog will be put down just for one bite, never mind that the dog was fearful and maybe being tormented. It's a big, rotten, unjust old shame. Animals deserve better.<br /><br />WhickyEverycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356564928470972448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-67638779772692989652011-01-17T16:53:37.376+00:002011-01-17T16:53:37.376+00:00I agree.

I'm glad Gregg doesn't mind the occasional scratch or nip enough to take my only defenses away. Not that I have to have them for much these days...but I do hope it becomes less and less common to take a cat's claws away.<br />To make matters even worse, Gregg's grandparents have another cat - really not a lot more than a kitten - that isn't turning out much better. When they got her almost a year ago, she was sort of skittish and playful, and would get into anything that was handy in order to get a little excitement in her life. Apparently, Gregg's grandmother started "putting her down for a nap", which entails either putting her in a bedroom with the door closed, or worse yet, into a closet. It limits her destructive potential, but it's far too easy to put the cat out of sight and out of mind, so now she doesn't want to be social, and her bad behaviour's only gotten worse. I wish someone would take that cat away and love it before it's too late...but I worry that perhaps it already is.<br />Ever notice how it's always the cats who end up going strange after living with humans, instead of the other way round?Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01574412777796312811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-56346710297864117142011-01-17T11:25:59.957+00:002011-01-17T11:25:59.957+00:00What a terribly sad story.

Humans so often don't learn about our behaviour and do things to us that cause us to exhibit the behaviour they don't like, then whoop-de-do we end up being punished for it, in Michael's case with surgical mutilation. Disgraceful. Poor Michael, declawed and defanged, the pain that poor cat went through all because of an original owner who did not know the problems he was causing. Declawing and defanging cripple cats for life. The sooner both procedures are outlawed in every country of the world the better. Grrr.<br /><br />WWEverycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356564928470972448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-6724883084622586862011-01-17T03:51:11.874+00:002011-01-17T03:51:11.874+00:00What a wonderful post and so true.

One of our cats pixel, we got when she was barely 6 weeks old and she has imprinted on us, she is not afraid of anything. doesn't mind the evil cat carrier and wonders what the noise in when she hears the fire alarm. The other one samba we got when he was about 5m and he is more sckiddish, afraid of his own shadow and runs at noises. We have had him for 2.5 years and he is less afraid around strangers and will now march out when they are here but. He will still run and hide with small things.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04916247327386739548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-26928522742746921132011-01-16T21:30:52.858+00:002011-01-16T21:30:52.858+00:00Well Sage, we see how you came by your name, you a...Well Sage, we see how you came by your name, you are a Wise Cat indeed.<br /><br />Taking a Cat into a Home is a commitment for life, and it's too bad that not all Humans respect and nurture the relationship. Because, even though Humans may be smarter, Cats are purrfect!Katnip Loungehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276522333751867680noreply@blogger.com
