2524.0. "KITTY-MAN MUST GO :-(" by USCTR2::CCURRIE () Tue May 30 1989 19:00

    Hi..I am placing this note for a friend who regrets to say that
    she must give up "Kitty-man".  
    
    Kitty-man is a short haired gray and white very playful (loves to
    play with the caps to milk containers) 2 year old male cat.  He 
    has been neutered and she also had him declawed.  
    
    He belongs to Lori Irvine who lives in Worcester.  She doesn't want
    to give him to a shelter but if she cant find him a good home
    that is what is going to happen.  Kitty-man come's with his toys
    and his litterbox.
    
    If you are interested in giving this cat a good home please call
    Lori at her home at (508)753-0775 and leave a message on the 
    answering machine.  Please tell her that you saw this note that
    Caroline put in.
    
    Kitty-man, Lori and I thank you!

2524.2WHY CUT THEIR TOES OFF???AIMHI::LLEBLANCTue Jun 06 1989 19:046
    My question is WHY do people have their cats declawed and then give
    them away???  If your not going to make a committment to a kitty, at 
    LEAST give him a chance to defend himself...
    
    Amputating the ends of their toes is bad enough but to cast them aside
    is such a cruel thing to do to an animal...

    re: .2  - there are other notes about declawing.  I was happy to
    learn that there are at least two alternate methods to the 
    operation where they essentially amputate the end of the toe.
    
    And casting any animal aside can be pretty cruel - declawed or not.
