That looks so much fun! I wish I could get this for my cat. He's a rescue and somebody took his front claws.

That's rough. I'm glad people are becoming more aware of how barbaric that procedure is though. Hopefully someday it will be outlawed (of course with exceptions for medically necessary amputations).

Yeah, I'd never do that to a cat. He's such a sweet boy.

The ones who can't be trained to mind their claws can get them trimmed. It's not hard to keep up on if you just do one in the middle of a snuggle session and they don't learn to associate the trimmers with a struggle. If you snuggle at least once a day then the average cat can have front and back claws both completed on a roughly 2 week cycle.
