I'm going to try getting some sort of scratching post for her. I'm scared to try trimming her claws but it may come to that.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

I wonder if there's a t-shirt that says "Your being a lying, scum-sucking, tax-cheating asshole with the IQ of a houseplant is not my emergency."

You might look for a cat groomer or check with your vet's office. Either will trim your cat's claws. Not sure how much it costs, but then you don't have to do it and you know it's done right.
Andi, how do you make sure your cats get enough water? I put out two bowls, because I have two cats and that way, however picky they are they have options. One of them also likes to hop up on the counter and lap at the leaky water faucet in the kitchen. So, I don't worry about lack of water, but how do I know if they're getting enough?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Shir, my dear, I am so so sorry. I hope your doggie is quickly diagnosed and healed.
My vet charges $12 to trim my cat's claws. I trim Bella's, but Xusa is a) 13 lbs and built like a linebacker and b) no really, has *no* scruff to grab, so she only gets trimmed at the vet. I'm tempted to buy those "emery board" scratching thingies, to see if they work.
The trimmers shaped like this work pretty well. [link]

I trim my cat's claws. (And it's time I did so again.) But he's a cuddle-bug who doesn't mind me messing with his paws. YcatMV.

I recommend this as well.
Shir, I am so sorry.

smonster, when do you leave for NO? If I'm not mistaken there's stuff going on in the Channel.
I wrote A Thing for work [link] I usually post it in press, but thought it might be of interest to Bitches this time.
