Declawing, whats the deal?

Calling all our US buddies, we’re wondering if you could help us out?

Here, in Australia declawing is illegal..thank god! It is a horrible, inhumane and brutal thing to do to animals for purely selfish reasons. There is no plausible reason you could have (apart from health reasons for the cat) to remove half an animals toe. If you are too lazy to keep a cats nails trimmed short, get a fish!

So the topic came up in conversation in the All for Women forums (it’s in a private area, so can’t show you) But basically one of our only American members was telling about her sister getting a new kitten for Christmas, and getting is declawed . Because ” it’s normal here like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches” for “safety reasons”. WTF?

It’s been awhile since we have dealt with the general cat owners out there, just you super special cat bloggers. We know Americans still declaw, but we have some questions we’d love to ask you guys….

• How common is it really, Surely these days it isn’t as common as PB+J sandwiches?
• Are people becoming educated and more aware of the safe and human alternatives?
• Are there laws or regulations against it in any states?

We would love to hear everyones opinions and stories on the subject!!

Little christmas giving..to myself

When I saw this shirt, I just had to have it. I love so many of the threadless shirts, but have never been motivated enough to actually buy one.

A sale is always helpful!

Threadless have a $10 sale on at the moment. So such it is such a bargain, all up with postage to Australia it was a smidge over $20!

There is only a few days left of the sale, I think it ends on the 16th. You probably won’t get it in time for Christmas..but you never know?

Just a few hours left to enter our 12 days of Christmas competitions over at All for Women. Todays competition is for$100 cash, and is open till next week…who couldn’t do with a bit of extra cash at this time of year?

While I’m here, I mose well let you all know about a new forum I put together a few days ago. All for Women Online is a forum for women bloggers and webmasters to get together and network, chat, share tips and advice. Have agreat bunch of friendly ladies joined up already, we’d love to see you there!

Made in China

For some reason the last few days the kids have been obsessed with where things are made. It has become a bit of a (very) annoying game that we have to check where everything is made *blink* You’d think that would be a little boring, considering most things are made in the same place.

It is super exciting, apparently, to find something Made in Australia. How sad is that?

Katelyn has been asking if she was made in china too. Considering we haven’t travelled to china, that would be a no. But I don’t think she is convinced.

The cats too, according to her, are also made in china. I guess that is sort of close.

Well imagine their excitement when we received this hamper from Dairy Farmers. Not only was it a basket full of yummy goodies, but it is All made in Australia!

Good thing I am not lactose intolerant (or I could be, and that might explain the horrid heart burn for the last few days).

The kids have polished most of it off, and the cats have claimed the basket
