When can I declaw my cat? |
| |
| You can have your
cat declawed as soon as they are 2 pounds. This is about 2
months of age. They are old enough to be put under anesthesia safely and the
less they weigh, the quicker the healing. Also, the fee is lower for a
kitten under 16 weeks old. We don't recommend declawing a cat over a year old
unless it is necessary for their situation. |

|
Should I let my declawed cat outdoors? |
| |
| Leaving any cat outdoors
lowers their average life span. The risks of infectious disease, vehicular
trauma (hit by car), fights with other animals and humans are great to a small cat. If you
add the fact that he or she is declawed -- just increases the risk. |

I have two cats who like to clean each other. I
would like to treat them for fleas (with frontline
or advantage), but I'm worried that they'll get sick by ingesting the medicine
from the other cat. What do you suggest? |
| |
|
I carry Frontline here, so I will
talk about that product. As long as you separate them for two hours (and do not
pet that area), all of the product will be absorbed. Place the product on the
skin between the shoulders and the neck so they cannot lick it themselves. |
