My cats like to steal my dog’s bed. Then he’s forced to sleep on the cat bed.

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 view on cat declawing is that every cat owner should make her own decision. Declawing a cat is not inhumane. It is a reasonable option for people who want to own a cat and nice furniture. I don’t feel so bad for the pampered indoor cats that get declawed because I know these cats are …

We often plan out elaborate schedules for socializing puppies. Kittens, however, are on their own. It concerns me that cats are lower class citizens than dogs, but simply put, they are valued less.
