Cats are born with claws, the same way that humans are born with fingernails and toe nails. Cats need claws in order to mark or scratch a specific place or territory that they have been in. Humans need finger nails to, scratch themselves or others, or for opening a letter envelope. Cats basically stretch their agile bodies in order to prepare their muscles when they dig their claws deeply into wood perhaps or a tree, and then they pull back from their hold. Scratching is a basic physiological need of cats. Related Article Tags: , ,
Not all cats respond to change great at first. Some will adapt right away whereas others require a little bit of time in order to make the change. Adding a new cat to the mix can be a stressful situation for any of your existing cats. You need to realize this in advance and do what you can to make the transition a little easier. Many cat owners find that the easiest way to accomplish this is to put the new cat into their own area for a few days so it can become used to its surrounding without being bombarded by other cats that have sonority in the home.

When they were domesticated by humans, their claws or their instincts did not simply disappear. A lot of people end up removing their cat's claws because they find scratching to be such an undesirable behavior. But remember that this is surgery, which can be painful and there can be complications involved. Related Article Tags: , ,

Paul says all he wanted to know was 'Christ crucified' (I Cor 2:2). There is so much emphasis today on 'Christ coming' that this often obscures 'Christ crucified.' The Practical Gospel is all about living in the power of the cross: in 'Christ crucified.' Related Article Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,
