Topic: I feel horrible...

You're quite inconsiderate.
it obviously cant walk properly.
off with its legs!
She's limping around the apartment now crying when she takes steps. I feel like a horrible human being.
declawing a cat is like cutting off a human's finger from where the nail grows.
you should of got the little caps. they just glue 'em on, and no more sharp points. they come in lots of colors too.

I had to do it. I have burber carpet, and she was getting her claws caught everytime she took a step. She'll be a lot happier pretty soon. I still feel kind of bad though.

Dude, give the cat away and get an AIBO. That way you can program it to do only the stuff you like. If you decide to take an animal into your home, you need to accept the bad stuff that comes with it.Sorry dude, you're allowed your opinion and I've respected your comments for quite a while, but I think you just dropped a few notches.
This rates with docking dog's ears for aesthetic purposes and the japanese practice of binding up womens' feet.
Your opinion on neutering?

Are you BLIND WillyPete?
I suppose you think it's wrong to spay or neuter animals too, right?

Btw that's Manchurian (right near China) and they don't do weirdass stuff like that anymore.
How about, "This rates with the "American" practice of circumcision"?

simultaneity is not absolute. So just because you think i'm wrong, from my frame of reference i'm right!

Besides, she has gotten the most love ever the last couple days. She's feeling a lot better now and will be almost completely normal in a couple days.
Have you ever tried to clip a psychotically active little cat's nails? I have. We had 3 people holding her down and could only clip one of them before we lost the cat for 2 days under the bed. This is not a permanent solution to clip 20 nails every 2 weeks. Plus, she hated her scratching post and wouldn't use it, so it was on to expensive things.
I'm not normally a big fan of this sort of thing, but it seemed necessary and it took me a month to come to the decision. And as for the AIBO comment, the cat was a stray that I took in so that she wouldn't be eaten by a coyote. It's not like she's a status symbol or anything. She came to the door weighing under 5 pounds because she was on a Kangaroo Mouse diet. She's up to almost 7 pounds now since I feed her each day, water, litter, etc. I'd like to think I've done something humane. Besides, we're buddies. 
What the hell is an Ikea?
heaves haven't heard of ikea.
it may be a canadian thing, but here it's considered a rich people's furniture store. though reach people consider it poor people's furniture store and nobody ends up goin there. yet everybody gets a catalog once or twice a year.
I suppose you could've just clipped her nails every couple of weeks, but I've never known a kitty that likes that, either. So maybe it's better just to get it all over with at once, so neither of you will have to go through it again.
But one thing is *very* important - she's an INDOOR cat now; do NOT let her go outside unless she is under your direct control and supervision (get a kitty leash or something.) Cats rely on their claws for climbing and self-defense. She can't zip up a tree or a fence to get away from that dog she pissed off, or the male kitty that has decided that your backyard is HIS turf.
My major problem is that I cannot control my baby when Im not home so she goes on a rampage when Im not there. But she loves me.

Ikea = Swiss furniture company that has decent, hip stuff for cheap because you have to assemble everything yourself.

IKEA = Swedish furniture company. Rather hip and decent stuff. Bright colors, clear lines. Bought by people between 14 and 35. Self-assembly, rather inexpensive. Medium quality. Pretty much in in Europe.

Depends. There's a lot of chicks around usually, but according to my own experience the really hot ones are to be found elsewhere (read: I personally don't frequent that store too often, and neither do my friends. 
).
Anyway, I start to wonder whether I should get myself an IKEA bed. I've been wanting a queen size bed for a while and IKEA seems to be the only place where I could afford one...
