(And yes, I shaved the cat. He's *ecstatic* to get out from all that fur, purring and playing again like he did when it wasn't thirty fucking degrees out.)

Date: 2011-07-27 11:11 pm (UTC)Short version: He's an IDIOT, and I wasn't willing to fight him when he was a new cat. When I first got him, I picked him up, he struggled, he fell, he grabbed for me, and didn't use his claws. I picked him up, grabbed a paw, felt for claws, tried to push out his claws, and failed. And then
So we concluded he'd been declawed.
He's got claws, he just won't use them, *ever*, when he's around strange people or strange situations. And he rolls his knuckles to keep anyone from pushing his claws out. Combined with the Montreal vet clipping his claws very short, we thought he didn't have any, until we caught him sharpening them.

Mab is very careful with her claws around people too, but not to that extent.

Date: 2011-07-28 10:00 pm (UTC)I've just had to clip the Akita's back after he crawled under the HOT BARBECUE. He burned all the hair over his shoulders, and I had to cut the singed hair away. Fortunately his coat is so thick he never noticed anything burning.

(Disclaimer: mine just head for the (empty) bathtub when it's too hot. As I don't move much when it's Too Hot, I don't much care if they move much in that case.)

Date: 2011-08-04 07:20 am (UTC)We were actually thinking today of shaving her. She has an incredibly dense coat like a raccoon's, and I have the impression that she's too warm and wouldn't mind taking it off. But it's such a gorgeous coat that I hate to mess with it.

Must be a blessing to be able to escape all that heat!
