Now, as if that wasn't bad enough, while I was anesthetized, my claws--my beautiful, long, shimmering swords of doom--were efficiently and summarily clipped right down to their nubs, Kitties, to their little nubs!
It was Not Right.
But unlike teefs, the claws--well, the claws can be coaxed back from oblivion by regular and intensive workouts on the sisal scratcher.
I confess I was a tiny bit distracted by an interesting noise in the street, but I assure you I got right back to my regular workout.
If I scratch it, they will grow.
Woot! Good to hear those talons are making a return.
ReplyDeleteJust don't show them to your mom.
You don't want any "trimming" !

What if you bite it? Those teethies might come back after all!
ReplyDeleteDarn tootin' they will grow back!

At least you still have your claws! Before I came to live with my current humans, somebody had me DECLAWED! So I have stumpy half-front-feet. I do my best to still do damage with my back claws, but it is not the same.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, I AM HERE FOR YOU.
ReplyDeleteExcellent Spitty! Working out is a good thing.

Our mom takes away part of our claws on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteI never get to have nice, long talons - they get clipped the night before I go to a show!
ReplyDeleteScratch it, Spitty...scratch it real good.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, Spitty! They will grow back, And then...
ReplyDelete*shudder* claw cutting is becoming more common here and some of us (in particular a brown burmese tart) just lie back and let it happen Not me thought, King Spitty, not me. I am like you and savour my scissorpaws.
ReplyDeleteYou've had your weapons of mass destruction for so long, I'm sure it was quite a shock to have them butchered down to dullness. But I bet your weaponry will be in full force in another month or so.
ReplyDeleteHope ya can get em back in scratchin shape!
ReplyDeleteTeefs come and go (well, mostly go), but claws must return. Please feel free to port over and rest yer weary head and paws on my ample silken tum, my dearest. And I'll even give you a little calcium tablet ta suck on ta get those claws growin again! ~ IZA LOVEY
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have your claws back Spitty. I had never had my claws clipped until I went to the vet to have my teeth cleaned a few years back. They brought me back out and mum took me home. I went to sharpen my claws on the carpet as I usually do and my feet just slid along the top. My mum was mad because she hadn't asked and they hadn't told her.
ReplyDeleteShe knew I needed them for my outdoor tall tree climbing. She rang up and asked what they were playing at, and a nurse said she thought they looked too sharp! My mum gave her a big piece of her mind!
You're looking quite mancatly there, Spitty, as you work out! Trying to cause a mass fainting of the ladycats around the globe?
ReplyDeleteWe are all indoor cats and get our claws trimmed almost every week. We are quite used to it and ALMOST enjoy it. At least we enjoy the attention from mom.
ReplyDeleteHope you entered our give-away for a NEW scratcher Spitty!

Good plan Spitty, I am sure you will be doing damage soon.
ReplyDeleteNice form (MEOW!!)
ReplyDeleteDoes yous wave the tail when yous scratches!?!
(Please say yous waves the tail)
Kisses

Spitty until the claws are back up to scratch again I am willing and able to be your body double. My claws are razor sharp and raring to go!!
ReplyDeleteMojo isn't very nice to go missing like that Spitty!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for sisal posts!! No one has been able to disarm me for years.
ReplyDeleteSpitty, that is quite a stealth figure you cut in that sexy photo. We may have to blow up the photo to poster size so we can better gaze at your furry six pack & that muscular floofy tail. It is outrageous that that vet stole your teef while you were knocked out, but then to chop off your magnificent talons without even asking is a crime against a feline. Don't they l know that they willy-nilly clipped away your most valuable weapon & human attention-getters? Well the teef may be gone forever, but the claws will return even sharper than they were prior to being whacked off. Keep up your ripping rehab. Spitty and soon you will be able to test their sharpness by sticking one or two needle fine claws into a select part of your human's anatomy. If she shrieks, then the claws are back to 100% & your hard work paid off.
