POOR TED!

Autumn Leaves suggested that Ted bites because he might be declawed. I looked at his footsies today. Sure 'nuff, no claws! Poor kitty! What kind of heartless losers would dump a declawed cat?? It makes my blood boil.

Yes, this is truly heartless. Poor Ted. I don't imagine he bites super hard, though if you aren't expecting it, it surely can startle and possibly even sting. But I've never found biting to be natural for a cat and in every case where any of our cats have bitten (they have never broken the skin), it has only been after being declawed.

I know many don't believe in declawing and it truly isn't what I want to do. We had to have our first declawed when my girls were little. Not only did she climb my curtains (and snag them from top to bottom), she refused a scratch pole, and used my little girl's body as her personaly jungle gym. We've always left the back claws (despite the damage they can do to furniture and legs when the cats jump off), just in case they accidentally got outside and needed to climb a tree.

Wow. For once I actually knew something! LOL Glad you checked Ted's feet. He probably should be an indoor kitty without those front claws. Oddly enough, no front claws does not interfere with mice catching abilities! Want to guess how I know???? LOL

I wish I could bring Ted inside, but he's pretty defensive around my kitties who go outside. He'd wreak havoc in the house. I might try to find some kind hearted person who would adopt a ratty-looking cat who bites.

Hopefully there is someone out there who will provide a home for Ted.
