I have not told my husband yet that this kitten cannot be declawed, it would render her unable to walk. My other three male cat are declawed (indoor cats)and he will be livid when he finds out. But I love this little one who has been through so much. I also want what's best for her. The Soft claws I've used before, but they are hard to get on and hard to keep on for more than 5 hours. I'm hoping that she truns out to be a non-scratcher. Have you ever come across a cat that doesn't usually scratch? I'm hoping to train and deter her quickly so that he will allow me to keep her. It may be since she has never had to opportunity to scratch in the last 3 months due to her disability, that she may end up not needingscrathing things. I love her so much I'm willing to give it a go despite the wrath and for sure blow out that will happen (even before she ever scratches anything), but am also realistic enough to know that I may have to give her to another home in her best interest. Is it selfish of me to try? I am friends with the president of the Michigan Cat Rescue who is fostering the kitten right now.
