I've had cats all my life and had them claw up carpets, woodwork, corner walls, and cupboard doors. I totally understand it. I never thought I'd ever do it, either. Only my last two cats were declawed, but all my cats will be from now on. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-52683623091631468092011-11-30T11:39:50.510-06:002011-11-30T11:39:50.510-06:00I can understand wanting them to be fixed; especia...I can understand wanting them to be fixed; especially in apartment blocks where lots of cats could be near each other and posibly increasing the kitty population.

And a lot of places require the cats be declawed and neutered. Karma was declawed when she was young...and fixed. But I can't remember if both were required here or not. I think so.<br /><br />Dagan and Leah's cats are fixed, just not declawed. I'll find out more when they come over Wednesday. :)<br />Have a great day!!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-4127971573559358982011-11-29T13:59:04.600-06:002011-11-29T13:59:04.600-06:00The extra fee I can kinda see; it's not fair, ...The extra fee I can kinda see; it's not fair, but I can see it.

Crummy time of the year to move. Maybe they are thinking of the spring. I can't remember when their lease is up. Well, they'll either move or stay put. Time will tell.<br />Or make the cats carpet coats...what cats? LOL!<br />They should have told the landlords. Tsk! Tsk! I thought they had. Oh well.

Your red spread makes me hungry for pizza for some reason.... I have never heard of putting Saran wrap on a painting before but I guess it would make a neat pattern! I'll have to try that. <br /><br />Oh bummer about Leah and D's Kitty/apartment issues. Hopefully they find something that works soon. When you are young like that $70 and paying for 2 sets of declaws is impossible. With my crazy landlord I never tried to have any pets other than fish! That lady was insane. Maybe Leah should just paint their nails the color of the carpet LOL Actually, just paint the kitties the color of the carpet and say, what cats?

I'll maybe find out more when I see them this week.<br />I know we'll have snow. We always have snow. Too bad I can FedEx you a big box of it when it arrives--LOL! ;)<br /><br />Iggy--D&L will do the laser declawing, they said. More expensive, but easier on the cats. Karma has no claws--front or back. They only require removing the front claws. I only did the front claws with my last cat, Chakra, and she'd lay under the bed and kick her way all around on her back. Totally shredded the box spring fabric--LOL! They find a way. So, when I did Karma I went for all four--but it was laser removal and she was amazingly happy and full of the devil afterwards. So, it won't be as awful as it could be. <br />They aren't evicted, but they want to move. They have talked about it for some time off and on. I think this is just the push, you know? Sammy and Annie would have yet another home to adjust to, but I'm sure they'll be fine as long as they have Dagan and Leah there. :)<br />I don't think D&L have enough money to buy a place with a mother-in-law suite--LOL! But they have actually talked about that. Maybe one day, they tell me. Karma and I are fine right here, though. :) :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-14972255079101852482011-11-27T07:40:56.911-06:002011-11-27T07:40:56.911-06:00Poor kitties.. being declawed or evicted... that s...Poor kitties.. being declawed or evicted... that seems so wrong.<br /><br />Hope they find a place that works better for them - and helps them realize a home of their dreams - It might even have one those detached mother in law suites huh? :)Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-29871621503161521522011-11-27T06:21:05.003-06:002011-11-27T06:21:05.003-06:00Hey there Rita, wow that is a shame how much they ...Hey there Rita, wow that is a shame how much they want to charge just for someone having pets.

I'll be afraid it would die and not start again anywhere I went, so what's the point? I might talk to them about that. ;)<br /><br />Ann--Yup! Dreary day today.<br />I liked it--bright and bold. I'll post a pic tomorrow. :)<br /><br />Gwen--I waited for you right here. ROFL! You're so funny!<br />I love playing with saran wrap and watercolors. I've done it before making bookmarks. Oh, I also used ink, too. Fun! Have a good Sunday! :)<br /><br />Serena--I guess I've always let them dry so I'd get the full effect. Fun to find out what you have.<br />A lot of places up here charge an extra fee for having pets (can be $100-300 dollars) and many of them require a cat to be declawed, but I honestly hadn't heard of charging more every single month? I wonder if that was because they didn't tell them? Some kind of penalty? I'm sure I'll hear more about it next week. And I am seriously thinking maybe we should just leave the car alone until we can take it in to the garage. <br />Anyways, I can't believe we are this close to December, girlfriend!! Whoohoo! We'll make it, I think. :)<br /><br />AliceKay--They do love their place, but they have wanted to buy a place or move to a cheaper place to save up to buy their own place. That place is nice, but it is expensive rent and I think they're tired of renting. We'll see. They may not find anything they like, either, or calm down and decide to stay put. Trouble is, it costs a lot to move!! Time will tell.<br />I think I've watched every one of the Simon's Cat videos half a dozen times. ;)<br />Have a great Sunday of rest!! :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-27884123878961670992011-11-26T15:49:10.630-06:002011-11-26T15:49:10.630-06:00Sorry to hear having Sammy and Annie live with Dag...Sorry to hear having Sammy and Annie live with Dagan and Leah is causing them some problems.

I never have the patience and usually press and remove the wrap almost immediately. It's still a nice effect in both acrylic or watercolour.<br /><br />A shame about Dagan and Leah's situation. I don't understand why they should have to pay $70 a month extra though? Here you don't pay extra to have pets. I wish them well in finding a place.<br /><br />I'm waiting with bated breath for the continuing saga in the life of PitaPaseo. ;)<br /><br />See you tomorrow!
