: You were joking when you said your cats are de-clawed, arent yoy????!!!I am worried because in Jakarta they... de-toothed (???)the slow lorris they sell in the streets...and in ....( cannot say the name of the country) they cut the vocal chords of their dogs.

: Flavia

: : : I am always being dogged by my father and relatives "why don't you just cook him" and "he just scratches your arms! a dog brings you slippers, the newspaper.." but then from the same father i get "i must admit, i like the guy, he's grown on me a bit =)"

: : : lol. Some people think i'm crazy and suicidal because i have the scars on my arms, but then just think i'm crazy for having a lizard in my house that will get to be 6+ feet long! lol. I'm pretty famous around my friends and peers for my reptilian fancies, lol. So whenever i gloat or talk about how much i want this or that reptile, or lose myself talking about reptiles of sorts, they don't think i'm too wierd, anymore, hahahaha.

: : :
: : : lol, i guess it just comes with the territory =P

: : After seeing my arms (during those days after you have aquired some scrates, before they have had time to be less noticeable) strangers always say..."You must have cats"...I say "yes I do, but they are all de-clawed, these came from my iguana". That always makes for conversation..NEVER FAILS!!!ha ha

No , I am not joking...Their front claws are no longer there. They are strictly indoor cats. If you do it at a very young age, it is not too bad on them. I admit, I felt bad, but, they will ruin your furniture.
