How do you take care of her? Feed her, give her attention, play occasionally until she gets older. If she's not declawed then effort
is futile unless you try the scratching post method or line every piece of furniture in plastic or protection. Just get it's front claws
removed if you can. Some places won't do that anymore after a certain age.

What the hell....declawing a cat is messed up.. I would never have a cat unless it was outside half the time, they are much happier when they are able to chase and kill animals. Cats are pretty easy to take care of they just do what they want and figure stuff out on their own, you just feed them and scratch their neck... If you really need to ask how to take care of a cat you probably shouldnt get one.

Also its best to get cats as young as possible if you want the bond between you and them to be as strong as possible...you cant always change behaviors learned from the previous owner..i would get a younger kitten if i were you.

I'm 100% against declawing cats. It can lead to serious problems later in their life. It's only 6 months, so you have to get it used to what it can and can't scratch. Get it scratching posts/planks and try to give it incentive to use that and make sure you let it know that scratching anything else is bad. It's also good to learn how to trim a cats claws. You'll first want it to get used to you touching its paws, so do that as much as you can. Then later down the road when you trim its claws, it doesn't get agitated when you hold its paws.

Cats are really easy to take care of. Get food and water bowls and a litter box. Since it's a himalayan, you also want to brush it so its fur doesn't get matted. It'll love it too.

The most recent cat I own we didn't de-claw it. It's somewhat of a mistake since my current cat likes to scratch everything, even when scolded, haha.

My other cats I've had have all been de-clawed, but only de-clawed when they're still very much young.

Then they go outside and get chased by a dog and are unable to climb up anything and get torn to shreds all because you thought that robbing them of their natural inclinations would be a little more convenient for you...

Re: Wat do? C-A-T plzz ;.;

You damn right I killed them then in that scenario.

Re: Wat do? C-A-T plzz ;.;

Declawing is something I wouldn't recommend at all. Besides the obvious fact it's terrible, I would recommend keeping her clawed if you plan on EVER letting her outside.

...If she will be forever inside, then well, at-least it would be more reasonable.

Let me know if you get your cat declawed, which vet you went to, so I know to never go to them for anything ever.

A lot of vets these days won't even DO declawing. It's pretty cruel to the cat. If you can't handle training the cat to use a scratching post, or accept the odd bit of damage to your stuff, don't get a cat.

This. Declawing is pretty terrible in the long run. You're basically choosing between your cat's health and possibly personality or scratched up furniture which might not even be the case.

clawing its nails is my best bet a long with a cat post and some cat nip rubbed on it :3 tahts what the internet advised! also a cute little thing to get it to sop was to spray some water on its back. when it does something abd and give it treats when it does something good

i dont know if i can squirt water at a cat though.

Re: Wat do? C-A-T plzz ;.;

...I think I mixed up de-claw and trimming nails, lol.

Wow, yeah. My other cats still have their claws, but they're trimmed so they're pretty much almost rounded. The claws are not actually removed entirely.

Holy shit no, lol. Literally thought de-claw meant rounded claws.

Re: Wat do? C-A-T plzz ;.;

Stop confusing "de-clawing" with "Trimming its nails" and maybe this wouldn't happen?
