Subject: Oh fun! Re declawing & the Xmas tree...
In reply to: lynne 's message, "We might be getting a cat tonight! I have questions...." on 06:58:46 12/13/10 Mon

Our cat is an indoor cat but not declawed (I could never do that to a poor kitty!). We trim her nails a minimum of twice a month -- it's pretty easy for us to do, though I imagine that depends on the temperament of your cat. Our kitteh is not a lap cat, but if one of us holds her, the other one can trim her nails without problem. That protects our furniture (and our fingers when she wants to play).

We do not put ornaments on our tree because she will take every single one off and put them in the dogs' water bowl. The most I do is ribbon, which she also takes off, but doesn't like to put it in the water dish. OTOH, I grew up with kitties who never had any interest in the Xmas tree at all...so again, I think it depends on your feline friend's personality. :)

Good luck and I hope you enjoy your new furry pal!!!

Must be a big water dish. Wonder what the attraction is? I spit water when I read that.

We only have one cat that gets into the tree now, but as long as I don't put ribbon on it, it's okay. When I was a kid, we would put bell ornaments on the tree so we could tell when she was under the tree. It worked until she found she loved just batting the bells!

Congratulations on your new addition!
