I’ve been thinking about all the negative comments people shared on That Mutt’s Facebook page and on the blog when I wrote about declawing my cats. I’m glad readers shared their opinions and that they care about the welfare of cats. But I’m worried people missed my point. If someone wants to adopt a cat and get that …

My cat Beamer has a food obsession, and that’s putting it lightly. He will eat everything. I’ve found “the real-life Garfield” with his head in the butter container (that he opened).
