It is unbelievable what people will do/say to justify their OWN SELFISHNESSThey will LIE to themselves, and even worse, they will LIE to others to make their selfish decision seem okThey will EVEN set up WEBPAGES saying it is okIT's an OPERATION, YOU are REMOVING the cats main form of self defense, and a major part of what makes it a catThink of your favorite body part(s)Could you survive/adapt if they were removed, sure you couldWould you be happy? Cut off a few fingers and maybe one or two fun parts and see if you are happy and well adjusted afterwardsIf you are, by all means go ahead and declaw your catI won't even call you a selfish, unthinking $%, I promise (but only if you really cut your own parts off first)How can you say you love your cat when your couch is more important? Put in the time to learn to train your catYour cat will be Happy to do things your way if you let him/her know howThat may mean redirecting their scratching to a catnip laden scratching post for a week or a monthIt will be worth it.
Personally I think declawing a cat is cruelIt's like a human going to the plastic surgeon and having them chop off the part of your finger from the first knuckle downAgain, my personal opinionI understand some cats are untrainable, but if you do decide to declaw kitty, only get his fronts doneHe'll figure it out soon enough that he needs to balance differently for jumping and he'll still have the use of his back claws for just thatIf Shooter is okay with having his paws touched by you I would suggest trimming the nails, this way he can scratch all he wants and you'll have no marks left behind.There are special kitty claw trimmers, and when trimming the claws make sure NOT to cut the quik vein.You can easily see the vein on the cats' nail, all you have to do is press gently in a downward motion on the top of the paw with your other fingers on the bottom of the padIt doesn't hurt them at all, it's normal motion of the clawYou can basically clip them as far back up to the vein, leaving a little room as to not come too close to the quikIf your kitty will allow you to attempt this I'd also suggest picking up a powder called Quik-StopThis is only used should you accidentally cut the vein, it will bleed like no tomorrowall you do is dip the toenail in the powder and press it there till it stops bleedingGood luck with whatever you decide on doing :)
It sounds like you're working with vmwarevmware will create several network adapters on your systemthese all determine how a virtual machine communicates in host only mode, the virtual machine will be directly networked to your host pcthis is communicated via one of the additional adapters that is createdthis also typically means that the virtual machine cannot connect (via network) to anything else except the host pcNAT means that any IP connection to the outside world will look like it came from the host PC (same MAC and IP as the host)this is useful for environments where you are mac locked or authenticatedThis also uses a network adapter that vmware createsbridged means that the virtual machine will have it's own MAC address and separate IP on the network and can be seen as a unique machineThis does NOT use any of the additional network adapters, just the adapter that you bridge to (a physical connection).
I'm sure you are getting your fair share of anti-declawing answersCruel to the animalLike taking the top joint of your finger awayWell, answer me this, if you were in some sort of accident, God forbid, and lost all the top joints of your fingers wouldn't you still be able to function? The answer is yesWhen all else fails and there is no other option, declawing will be fineYou need to make sure that you don't use a high dust litter for the first few weeksIt will be expensive, but use the recycled newspaper or the wheat littersDO NOT USE ACTUAL NEWSPAPERSI have had friends that tore up newspapers to save money and if they ever left a newspaper on the floor the kitty thought it was perfectly acceptable for useThe most I've ever had declawing keep a kitten / cat down is 1.5 daysThey adjust very quicklyNow the safety noteA lot of people do not realize that a cat rarely uses their front claws in a fightThey will use them as an initial defense, such as to swipe at a dog's nose, and hope the threat just leavesBut in an out and out fight you will find the smart cat gets on its back and starts kicking w/ the back legsFor this, I NEVER suggest declawing all fourYou will still fight picks here and there, but no mass destructionThe main use of a cat's front claws is to climb to avoid the fight at allFor this reason, if you declaw your cat don't let it outsideIf it is indoor/outdoor, don't declaw it just leave it out.
Is this a kitten or an adult cat? Kittens are always incorrigibleRemember they are babies and they are mischievous and naughtyIt takes time for them to learn right and wrong, just like a human childDo not permanently mutilate your kitty for a behavior that they will learn to control if you provide the right training and toolsDo you have a cat tree that is tall for climbing, perches for sitting up hight and poles wrapped in sisal rope for scratching? If not, you have the wrong type of cat treeGet one of them and take a teaser toy and play with your kitty all around the cat treeMake him climb itRub some catnip on the polesGive treats when you see him scratching thereContinue to scold when he scratches elsewhere and be patient if he's still a kittenHe will calm down after neutering and he will calm down with ageCat's need their clawsAbove all the other reasons cats need their claws(defense, balance, grooming, stretching), the most important reason they need them is for their psychological well beingI cannot stress this enoughDeclawed cats get nervous, irritable, fearful and can become aggressive bitersSome seem to do perfectly fine, but it's a HUGE RISKSome live with chronic pain for the rest of their livesIt's soooooo not worth the riskJust give it timeI am an expert on cat behaviorEmail me via Yahoo Answers and I can coach you through the training processI have 35 years of experience with cats and never had one declawedI've also never any possession destroyed by scratchingPlease contact meI will help you and your kitty.
