I really don't think it's a good idea to declaw though. Just treat her right and gentle and you will not have anything to worry about with her slapping your kid around. A declawed cat isn't going to be able to move around as easy, and from what others have noted here - you might end up with an agressive cat that way.

As far as litterbox training - cats will learn very, very fast. Just pop her in the box and let her know where it is and you will not have any problems.

Why are you 'amazed'? To even think it needs doing shows you to be a brainless idiot.

What the fuck though. Attacking and arguing with idiots is never time well spent so I'll bow out. Hopefully if nothing else this thread has made you think twice about getting any pet, let alone a cat.

Occasionally, cats will group together in what is commonly known as a felidae rape gang, in which they will forcibly mate with any human female they see. Did you know that cat fur has been known to induce heart failure in humans? Just last week alone the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have responded to 312 cases of people dying to the deadly motaba virus, commonly carried by cats. Although all cats should be considered extremely dangerous in all circumstances, black cats are overly aggressive when compared to the more docile european cats.

In recent months, the FDA has warned against people using Dextromethorphan while in vicinity of cats as their dander has been known to create hallucinations while using the drug, often times leading to mass hysteria and psychosis. The terror alert was raised to the maximum level today, Hello Kitty Pink, when cats seized control of a munitions lab in Destin, Florida. Do not attempt to engage these cats if seen, it is believed that these felines are armed and extremely dangerous and should not be approached under any circumstance. If you see any of these terrorist kitties, please alert your local homeland security agency
as soon as humanely possible.
