Me either - there is no photo attached to that tinypic. I'd love to
see her colors and does she really have claw caps? Please post the
photo again. Thanks.

Re-posted here, sorry about that! Pretty paws are a good alternative to
declawing. I just claw trim here. ;-)

Much better... declawing is a serious amputation... how'd any of yoose lke to have the first joint of all your fingers and toes hacked off. Declawing makes it a non cat physically and causes serious psychological damge to felines. Anyone who would declaw a cat enjoys pulling wings off butterflies and worse. Declawing is indicative of severe mental illness:

With a proper scratching post the clawing problem is completely resolved and all are happier. The posts sold at pet shops are ridiculously short, unsturdy, and covered with the worst of all possible materials (carpeting - the best way to teach cats to claw rugs and other fabrics), it's no wonder they don't use them exclusively. A proper post needs to be at least 42" tall and sturdy enough not to wobble in use. I use a section of 4" X 4" cedar fence post wrapped with sisal and mounted on a double thickness of 3/4" plywood 30" square, with a strong plywood perching shelf on top. In my basement I put up a couple of white birch logs for scratching and climbing. I have six cats and they damage nothing, only reason they're banned from the living room is to keep that one large room fur free, saves me a lot of extra vacuuming.

Anyone feels ambitious this is a great scratching post project:

being owned by two cats i heartily agree that the amputation should NEVER be considered.
