Thats a ceramic dragon I painted a few years ago. I’m at the hospital right now so I can’t post a pic of it but I will when I get home tomorrow. I wasn’t that fond of it when I first painted it.
Which Ow do you have besides the Brown, Emerald, BVP?

Also from OSU: http://ohioline.osu.edu/vme-fact/0017.html They don’t specifically recommend declawing. However I would discuss it seriously with his doctors (in case there is something unique about Danny’s case).
Fantastic reference! Again, I will stress, most of the issues that come up with cats have to do with young cats or kittens and about animals that are allowed outside.
If your animal has been vaccinated and vet checked and you do not let it go outside, then you have less to worry about. If you keep your animal flea free and keep a litter box you can just dump, like the biodegradable pine litters, and you use gloves and a mask…then relax!
Obviously, use the claw caps and start training your cats (I think they are smarter than my dogs) and you should be okay.
Also, give the cat toys to play with and do not use your hands to wrestle with the cat.
I hope these websites help you! Please read them, they are valid, non biased links!
Soft Claws or Soft Paws Work! I have 3 cats now and all of them wear the Soft Paws. The cat and kitten store on Ebay has great prices.
They do work and declawing is controversial.
I was already to get our new kitten declawed and my husband actually was against it because I told him what the surgery entailed.
I felt so guilty….I could not do it. Most medical precautions with cats are based on a cat that goes outside and roams. Inside cats do not usually carry the same risk as outdoor cats and that is the same for the litter box issue.
If you get a biodegradeable cat litter like Feline Pine, or a compressed pine product, you can safely dump the litter outside and use gloves and a hepa filter face mask. This eliminates having to sift litter in the box. I do this with my cats. More expensive, but well worth it. This should prevent Toxoplasmosis that could cause birth defects.
There are solutions other than declawing, if you make the effort.
Here is a website that details diseases people can contract from cats. Please note that a cat that has been indoors its entire life will probably be of little risk, even to the immunosuppressed and pregnant.

And tell us when the Black Emerald Peacock Squids will be available…since Melody MUST sign those. They will be so special.
(sorry, I just can’t help myself….should I post this in the Ask Melody section? We Must pick on NAM :))
They are probably worried about Cat Scratch Disease. It is most common in out door cats and young kittens. I wouldn’t declaw the cat over this. They can spread it though bites also and I am sure you won’t defang your cat. They are worried because your husband will have a weakend immune system…
Here is an article:

They should be general Windstone questions, i.e. “What’s the recommended way to clean my Windstones?”. We are not looking for questions like “When will Melody paint the next winged fairy wolf squid in violet peacock?”, since that is very specific and time sensitive. 😉
SQUID??? When did we have squids??
Squids? I want one! In Black Emerald Peacock Please! Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!
(Sorry, I had to do it!)

I rescued her and the siblings (momma too!) when the kittens were only about 4 weeks old, so I have been putting her in my bed and snugling with her while momma cat was still nursing.
This cat is like a dog. She follows me all over the house, she gets on the sofa and sleeps snuggled against my leg. She will even wait on the bathroom rug for me when I take a bath. She doesn’t go to bed unless I go.
At night if I get up she gets up and follows me in the bathroom. She refuses to go to bed without me, if my husband goes earlier than me.
I haven’t ever owned a cat that acted like she really loved me. I think because I have had her since she was so little.
But when she’s bad, she is VERY bad!
Heheheh
Since someone posted the Bad Kitty Video from Youtube…I can’t get that stupid song out of my head…..
My bad kitty “Chewy” unrolled a whole roll of toilet paper today, she chewed through a Royal Canin cat food bag like she was a rat. She was helping herself to the food. And she terrorized my klenex while I was taking a bath, when I hollered, she “hid” in the bathroom sink, like I couldn’t see her there.
I keep replaying that funny video in my head and singing bad kitty!
It’s funny, because we as members feed the demand when the number of pieces gets low.
I was waiting until next month and then I saw how few were left….so I called for my credit card balance and it wasn’t as high as I thought, so I JUST BOUGHT HIM!
I must admit, special pieces I don’t own yet…make me very tempted to spend more that what I can afford and I pay off my “crebit” card every month….it’s almost like gambling..except you at least get a prize…
I was going to wait until next month, but since I am not going to win the green coiled momma on Ebay, I checked the OW’s. I have the White, but noticed only 6 left.
So I got him and the Gold Fledgie. If anyone else wants a Brown OW they probably need to get him soon. Is Melody going to make more of these?
Good luck and take that best offer! I am sorry you have to sell but at least it is to a forum member who will love the OW!

Depends… how lucky do you feel? 8)
It also depends on how much you are willing to pay in case you do out bid them and are stuck with the very high price tag
I hope you find one eventually. I know what it is like to only have one left for your collectionSounds like a “Dirty Harry” Scenario….hehehehe, I could afford it, but it seems like a ridiculous price…..and I don’t feel that ridiculous….hehehehe

Hey, and in that case why not have a reserve? Does it really cost that much to have a reserve?I must have gotten close to their high price, because now the top bidder has two bids in a row. So no shilling, I think the person is really willing to pay that price or more…I hate to wonder what they upped it to….
Should I find out 😈 😈 😈 ?
