What?! I genuinely don't know how an entire group of people can be so confused. Really, did any one actually read what I said, or the website, or any of the actual available data on the subject? Is it really so hard to understand? Lily will not use her scratching post, clearly she is not like your cats. I have bought her 3 and she uses none of them in favor of my couch. You can think what you want but I have tried every persuasion to get her to use them and not a single works, something more was called for in this instance and just so you know, the friend who recommended them is a vet technician (I really doubt the practice she works for uses them if they're soooo cruel and unnecessary as you think... I also took Lily in for vaccinations just yesterday and was complimented on them by my vet who was impressed with the product). The claw clips are NOT... Let me repeat that because you clearly can't understand it... NOT cruel. They were invented by a vet as a solution to declawing! How anyone can think that's a bad thing I don't know. You're practically arguing for declawing. They allow Lily to use her claws exactly the same as if she wasn't wearing them, they're completely painless, safe, non-toxic, and keep her from causing damage. I suggest you read up on the subject before condemning it so thoroughly, or perhaps it is simply because it was MY suggestion that they are so "unreasonable" and "unnecessary".

AJ - perhaps you should simply admit that your ornament comment is unfounded. What grounds do you have to judge me, exactly? Have I spoken to you before? Are you in any way medically qualified to tell me or any one else for that matter that these claw clips are harmful and painful? Especially in the face of every other qualified person I have spoken to and all available research on the subject. Amazing that a person who knows absolutely nothing about me or what I'm talking about could be so stubbornly against me. That and your entire argument is ridiculous. "Oh, it's what cats do, don't get one if you don't like it"... Okay, and cats pee too. Am I suppose to NOT teach my cat not to pee on the carpet because it's in her nature? Laughable. Be realistic, please. Let this argument go already... Or if it suits you, have me banned like you've done other's for speaking against you.

Look it up, educate yourselves instead of making baseless assumptions on your first impressions, and learn to relax because you don't understand everything. I could say no less of myself. And I wouldn't worry, I have no intention of returning again. I'm heading to more sensible waters. Thank you for your time and I wish you all the best of luck. Thanks for the laughs.

Notice the bit that says in my opinion, I'm as qualified as anyone to have an opinion. What gets me is the fact once again you named the thread "missbehaved kitten" yet your kitten isn't missbehaving it's simply being a kitten.

If you can't cope with a kitten get something more suitable, in my opinion, which is based on the information you have provided, an ornament would be perfect for you.

Sorry but what is your problem everyone is entitled to a opinion. There is no way on this earth i would do anything like this to my cats and believe me they have wrecked loads of very expensive leather furniture and now use my brand new stairs carpet as a scratching post . But im afraid its part and parcel of owning any animal. Even our rabbit likes the odd nibble on cables should i have his teeth removed no dont think so. In answer to the weeing on carpets etc yeah fair enough you train them not to do it, but scratching things is part of there nature.
I totaly agree you should have bought a ornemant or 1 of those battery powered kids toys that has a on off switch and cant damage anything .

None of us are confused!! We were all giving OUR opinions, which I think we are entitled to do.......unless freedom of speech is'nt alowed anymore

Don't think so somehow

You obviously don't like everyone not agreeing with you. I think from the start you were out to cause trouble, just by your tone of your posts(jusT MY OPINION)

I personally have never seen anything so ridiculous, I wouldn't dream of using them on any cat of mine - theres a severe danger that they could get laughed at by other cats

Bye then Vapor-have to say ya kinda left me slightly baffled but sometimes not all/everyone will think the way you seem to but they are our various opinions which is what you asked for-it's just none of them validated your train of thought,but you clearly have lots of expert people to hand in whom you trust so what was posted shouldn't have bothered you-which for me at least says rather more than you would perhaps want,but wish you well also and your kitt

Vapor assume your kitten escaped the house what chance of survival has it got, it can't climb, lash etc., etc., In my opinion its not normal, its not natural therefore its cruel.

You would prefer to use claw covers than de-claw, that's your choice I wouldn't consider either option.

Your kitten won't use a scratch post, and your point is that your furniture is more important to you than your kitten, so you choose to protect your furniture.

AJ is right cats scratch not necessarily objects we prefer them to scratch. Cat owners are fully aware of the damage cats can and do cause to furniture but it isn't a major problem for most people.

You mention about training a kitten not to soil the carpet totally different to opting for a tube and disposable bags.

I can assure you the laughs are all ours!

See your on form again. If I didnt know better i would think you 2 were same person just using different names. Your last posts were removed for a reason . From what i can see your the only idiot around here. As i said before i would take sound advice off of all these people. It is disgusting what you have wrote in your post you seem to be 1 angry person with nothing better to do but cause trouble
