Before and after!

(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.)

He was the one you found who was declawed, right? Has that affected his... recuperation, I guess?

Yes, but he wasn't actually declawed.

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 torrain did the same thing.

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.

What a strange little dude.

He is an awesome kitty. As a Mighty Hunter(tm), he is fail.

Little guy just likes to make a good impression!
Mab is very careful with her claws around people too, but not to that extent.
