BYO...Cat Tree

My point is that there's no reason for a rock to have a parasite. It's a freakin rock. Wash it off and throw it in the tank. The woman simply refused to actually think through what the pet store person told her to buy. A lot of pet hobbyists are like that.

About declawing cats... a lot of vets are now refusing to do declawings in my area, due to animal rights activists lobbying vets. The closet one that does, is about 45 minutes or so away. Not saying it can't be done, but it's getting increasingly difficult.
Albertans must get bored, because there's always people with time to donate to whatever cause they feel like...

Jesus god are you seroius? One of my ex'es freaked out at the thought of getting her cat declawed. Its an indoor freaking cat, what the hell does it need its claws for? My sister had a cat my mom declawed when we were growing up, great idea. We never got scratched, the furniture never got tore up, and the cat knew it didnt have em, so it stayed inside and never tried to "escape". If youre going to have a cat anyway. I hate em. Im a dog person.

Yeah psychos are weird like that. :lol You do know the turtle lived outside before you bought it right? Besides, how nasty of a parasite could be living on a rock anyway? Hell, I didnt even wash em off when I took em outta my backyard when I had turtles ;D

Exactly. You want parasites? Take my wallet.

I'm not a cat person (despite owning 3), but after researching, it does seem to be unnecessary to declaw a cat. Ours really only scratch the dog, and she deserves it most of the time.
They don't actually just take the cat's claws off -- they'd only grow back -- so to prevent this they literally remove the tip of each 'finger' on the cat's paws. Picture chopping all your fingertips off just below the nail.
Sure, they adjust, but it seems a bit drastic to me. Plus, it ain't cheap.

I know, they take out the whole sheath. I would still be able to survive, and if I didnt need em, hell, I wouldnt miss em. They use anesthesia(sp) so its not THAT bad. Its kinda funny when the cat tries to use the claws after they have been taken out. I mean it sucks, of course, to actually HAVE retractable claws then having them taken away, but hey. If the cat had to survive in the wild, it would NEED them. A house cat doesnt.
Trying to cut them is even worse cause the cat freaks out then you get scratched. I got so cut up one time cause I tried washing a cat, it was a freakin nightmare. Its only the front claws too, they keep the back ones.
Its 50 bucks at the vet down the street from where I live.
