Not so great at 3AM though…both of ours were playing in the left over christmas bags the other night.

Yea, sucks that she has a bit more wrong with her than I initially suspected, but I’m definitely relieved we caught the coccidia before it became a real problem. Gave her her first dose of the medicine last night, took me about 20 minutes by myself but the good news is it’s not as often or for as long as I thought, only once a day for 9 days. The ear drops are twice a day for 14 days but they’re fairly easy to give her.
I’m just glad we could give her a comfortable and loving home. She was found on the streets of Camden dehydrated and anorexic with god knows what else wrong with her, and by the time we got her she had been moved out of the shelter into a shudder pet store. She’s a real trooper, I’ll tell you that much.
Son and I will stay up playing smash brothers and watching the 3 stooges, set some fireworks off at midnight and then off to bed.
As a person whos had cats and dogs all my life I can assure you and your mother that the Cat WILL smack your dogs atleast once.
But one time is usually enough and the dogs will learn to stay away from the cat when it starts hissing.
There is no need to declaw the cat for the dogs sake. Or at all for that matter. I honestly didn’t even know declawing was a thing until right now. It is probably illegal here like most unecessary mutilations are.
And sorry for the 2 week old reply… I just happened to read this and it upset me a bit that this is a thing.
It really shouldnt be a thing.

No it really shouldn’t.
Poor cat won’t be able to defend itself when dogowners try and scratch its belly. Not to mention climbing is now impossible.
You’re taking away two pretty big things about being a cat. Might aswell get another dog.

Wait do people seriusly de-claw their cats… thats just dumb
If ■■■■ is unfiltered then I think we can post pics from the fappening… just an idea
One of our cats was de-clawed (she came that way) and she could climb just fine.
@ChicoSuave This may be more relevant later (flea medicine, ahoy), but if you need to give your cat medication that requires they sit still, wrap them in a towel.

I am sure they can learn to adapt. But they shouldnt have to. Besides, their claws are used for many other purposes. Scratching to mark territory, hunt or just to stretch (amoung many purposes)
Declawing is just barbaric though. Its essentially cutting their toes off.

I’ll definitely be trying that tonight when I give her her medicine. Should at least spare me from a few scratches.
Like a cat burrito?

Well. “My” (I say that with no small amount of winking) cat lives outside and to my knowledge, lives a high stakes lifestyle full of pre-marital sex and meth dealing, with a side order of pre-marital sex on top of his meth money. So I’ve never really had a dog in this… um… cat race?
Although I should say that the topic was in a cracked article entitled “Six innocent sounding topics guaranteed to start flame wars”, so there’s that.
Anyway, with the holidays winding into the latter way, everyone have good christmases? Hangovers? Parties? Ill advised holiday hookups?
@Arsonist you sure thats a cat tho?
No hungovers or anything just another christmas making me feel more distant from my famely… yay

Don’t hate just cause you can’t handle the cuteness.
I’m pretty sure it’s a cat. I mean it has the physical form of one.
It just likes to go out and get wasted and comes back to our porch to lick its wounds.
