I do not believe in declawing either, but I understand that there are people with differing beliefs out there. Personally, I will never declaw a cat. I've had cats with claws for 8 years now and have had 0 items in my home destroyed or even scratched. I give my cats an interesting life and therefore they are not bored and do not destroy things. They have windows to look out, toys to play with, cat posts to scratch, an enclosed 'catio' where they can go dig in the dirt safely, beds to sleep on and many other things that keep them active and happy.
I definitely think that yorkies and kitties do well with each other, they just have to respect each other. |
Looking at these pics makes me want to get another kitten. Duchess loves kittens and I think she thinks they are her pets. I love those pics. I miss my Zoey, my cat who passed away at 15 years old in 2014.
My cat was also not declawed but she destroyed this one chair which I still have. It's in my home office and the most comfortable chair in the house. Thankfully she didn't destroy anything else. I kept the chair to keep her from turning her sights on other pieces of furniture.
