MY WIFE WANTS A CAT
Her husband soon will be working
Evenings–she’ll feel lonely…
She wants to get a kitty
To keep her company.
–
In theory there’s no problem,
But infections we tend to get…
Kitty front paws must declaw
Or the answer is “nyet.”
–
Suggested renting our neighbor’s
“Kizzy Kat” for a while…
The wife wasn’t enthusiastic,
She wants her own feline child.
–
I really can’t say I blame her
For I miss a kitty cat too…
At least we’ve begun discussions
Till we decide what to do.

No no no – please don’t declaw. They snip off the toe at the first knuckle.
When we got Pickles and Hillary as kittens, I played with their paws every night (this little piggie, etc.) until they got used to me fiddling with their paws. Now I can trim their nails without them freaking out. They can still be squirmy, but they put up with it.
Lots of scratching posts keep them from the furniture.
