The practice of declawing cats has (thankfully) fallen out of fashion. Declawing is really a nicer way of saying amputating. When a cat is declawed, a surgery that removes the ends of its toes is performed. This practice is discouraged by the ASPCA. Rather than surgically removing cat claws, simply pamper the pet a little and trim the nails every few weeks. Let the cat adjust to the sound of the clipper by clipping pieces of spaghetti. Get him or her used to having his or her paws manipulated by gently massaging the feet every day, and offer treats as a reward. Most importantly, it’s better to trim a tiny bit off the end than to cut to the quick. No cat lover would doubt that cats -whose senses are much

keener than ours - suffer pain. They may, however, hide it better. This is not a surgery to be taken lightly. We recommend that you get your pet checked regularly by an animal expert.

Pet Care

Trimming beats declawing

On World Community Day the Logan County Church Women outreach project went to “Baby Bear Hugs” who changes the lives of soon to be parents in Eastern Colorado. Church Women United collected yarn to be made into afghans for the newborns and also collected new and gently used books for other siblings in the household. Acccepting on behalf of Baby Bear Hugs is Dalia Alexander (center) of Early Childhood Council who received the supplies from Rita House, president of Church Women United (right), and Della Williams, Chairperson for World Community Day (left).
