Do you know someone who needs to be convinced that
DECLAWING CATS is NOT a good idea?
THE DECLAWING RESOURCE SECTION provides insights into this highly controversial subject:
the procedure (onychectomy),
surgical and non-surgical alternatives,
behavior training,
nail-trimming, and
selecting or building scratching posts that cats will use.
includes a materials list, plans, and step-by-step
instructions for building a cat tree. Adapted and reformatted from instructions originally appearing in the June/July 1994 issue of PETA's ANIMAL TIMES including modifications provided by Cat's Haven.
This is a solid white cedar scratching post system that features an interactive string toy, kitty treats, catnip, and a seven-page training booklet.
The post stands 24" high and uses a 14" square base -- this provides stability so that your cat won't have the awful experience of digging in and then having the post fall over!! The white cedar provides the tactile sensations preferred by cats PLUS you're not training your kitty to scratch on the carpets!!
