Ps 150

I know, and I hate to do it, but it was already decided upon before this. We've never declawed before and normally the thought of it makes me shudder. Our oldest cat is a rescue pet and she came to us already declawed but we've never actually wanted to do it. Our youngest DD has a medical condition that affects her hands. When she has a flare-up of her syndrome, she absolutely cannot have any punctures to the skin on her hands or fingers. DH made the decision to declaw after the cat was playing beside our DD, reached up and clawed her hand and later her face. I don't know if he was batting at her hair or anything else but DH made that call and I have to respect him on this. I've always been a firm believer that if there's a disagreement between husband and wife, then the husband's decision supersedes the wife's...I spent the first 8 years of my life living with my grandparents and really find a lot of my beliefs rooted in their "Great Depression Way Of Life," and my own biblical views. The cat belongs to our youngest, the one with the medical condition, and DH won't get rid of him, especially since in all other regards, he's the sweetest cat. But, he's still a kitten and very playful.
