Hey Moey, if you don't mind which de-claw surgery did you choose?Well...I know this has been a very controversial decision, and I hope nobody will think worse of me..but Mogli spent the night at the vet after going in for surgery yesterday morning.
It was a hard decision but he pretty much left me with no other choice in the end. Please believe me when I say that I thought long and hard about it, but like somebody e-mailed me yesterday, it isn't good for Mogli either when I tell him "No" constantly and shout at him. It also wasn't good for him to get stuck with his claws in the carpet (I had to help him to get them out of there). Declawing would never have even entered my mind with any other cat..but Mogli...well....he is in a cat class of his own, I guess.
I promise to baby him even more than I normally do when he comes back home today
The only thing he didn't like was when I took him out on the backporch on Monday to get a taste of the snow outside...he hid and was back inside before I could say "HEY"
I am not sure what the vet did, but I think he "only" pulled them out and didn't amputate anything. Mogli was able to walk with no problems as soon as he was home (he stayed with the vet for 24 hours) and also to jump on the furniture right away. We did have a rough weekend once the pain medication wore off though. The thought of declawing never entered my mind with my other cat (Paulchen) so I am not sure if I would do it again, but I really had no choice with Mogli in the end and I am just relieved that it didn't alter or hurt him apparently at allHey Moey, if you don't mind which de-claw surgery did you choose?
I am glad he is back to his old self, my parents just had their kitten nuetered and now he is a "it" but they are not sure if they want to declaw him.
