One of our previous cats was found in a garbage bin beside a conveneience store when she was but a kitten, no more than a few weeks old. Yes, people can be pretty cruel. We changed her life and she lived another 16 years in comfort and joy with us until she got cancer and passed away. Take comfort in the fact that you are giving them the best home and life they could ask for now. Believe it that your cats care is heaven on earth for your cats. No one can change the past but we can certainly make them a better future. Good for you Rick Al Smith Hi Rick,

Take comfort in the fact that you are giving them the best home and life they could ask for now.

Believe it that your cats care is heaven on earth for your cats.

No one can change the past but we can certainly make them a better future.

Good for you Rick

Dorda and Mitty always give me that dazed look when they jump and fall. It breaks my heart. Thanks Al. Dorda and Mitty always give me that dazed look when they jump and fall. It breaks my heart.

I totally agree with your article. I have two cats and would not even consider declawing them. We have an inside cat that we take to the groomers for nail clipping and grooming. Our other cat loves to be outside during the day and we have never even had her claws cut at all in the five years we have had her. She takes care of that herself on the scratching posts, trees and our wooden fence. We are always watchful for any complications and have never had to clip her claws even once. More than once she has needed every tool at her disposal as other larger cats and animals like to intrude on her territory. We have scratching posts upstairs and downstairs, and they use them frequently. We have had to replace a chair and a sofa in our over 30 years being cat owners but they are worth it, and do not consider it a problem. Kudos for you writing on this subject. Keep up the good work.
