| I've got an entry running 3.7 and it's just been called in for vindication, or possibly fornication - validation that's the issue. Somebody trying to deny me my brown ribbon? |

great one, Paul!
We actually had a cat that had a very bad experience with a vet when he was young. When we'd walk through the door of the vet's, this sweet, gentle cat would go ballistic and try to kill you. My husband would have to go to the vet decked out in a leather bomber's jacket and heavy leather work gloves to even attempt to get his shots in him. |

Wow, Wendy...poor cat...though also wondering, as I work with animals for a living, if your husband donning the leather gear may not have clued cat in to something bad was about to happen, and so out came the razor blades...err claws.
BTW, my little girl, Lily, is declawed all around - done by the breeder who originally produced her, not the one I got her from. And so she can't scratch obviously, but just try to get a pill into her, she turns into a furry octopus (as opposed to Octopussy!) able to writhe and squeeze through the smallest crack, just like a cephalod.

| You realize Max that 6 puts you in danger of having to comment on all TS foliage entries, right? I’m happy that my offering seems to be holding at 5.5 on a shot done my way, and that, more often than not, places me in the 4’s. |

Declawing seems utterly barbaric to cat lovers this side of the pond - indeed it is illegal in all EU countries. That said, it is only a couple of decades since terriers' tails stopped being docked. |

It is illegal in EU countries? Then maybe I should contact the original breeder. She is Belgian and apparently used that as a reason for declawing all around, that it was popular to do so. Lily is 7 years old, don't know how long breeder's been over here. I don't think it's illegal here - yet - but is strongly discouraged. |

I've returned from Paris, and while I did not get to see even half of what I had planned, I am pleased I went. I liked the city a lot more than I thought I would. I expected a rather dull gray city with rude people and an air of snobbishness. I didn't encounter any of that. Paris has aged well. She's well cared for - most of the sidewalks are somehow miraculously washed in the morning; trash is not readily apparent. While graffiti exists, it isn't rampant (but is in places it shouldn't be, which is sad) and the people are not rude or snobby. Aloof at times perhaps, but no more so than Germans can be. Parisians seem to be willing to share their pride in their very beautiful city, but respectfully and quietly, aside from the tacky knick-knack salesmen at a few locations, of course. The metro is awesome. Functional and clean and very very efficient. I never waited more than 5 minutes at any given location, at any time of day, for a train. I'd say the food is good, but I'm not a foody and don't really pay that much attention. Besides, it is awkward to eat out at a nice place when on one's own, in Paris. That's another thing - if you go to Paris, you really ought to go in pairs - it does indeed seem to be a city for couples!
For pictures of the great landmarks, Google 'em. I'm sure you'll find plenty! For pigeons and weird stuff, you'll have to wait 'til I get pictures transferred to my computer and sorted. :-) |

Yep, banned by ALL member states of the E.U. (which includes Belgium) under Article 10, Clause 1 of the “European Convention for the Protection of Animals”, 13th November 1987.

You should win an award of some kind for being the first forum poster to not spell that phrase "baited" ... however appropriate the alternative may sometimes be. :-) |

Did you hear about the cat that ate Limburger cheese and waited at the mouse hole with baited breath?
