How to introduce cat to 3 declawed cats, w/ minimal injury?
My BF has 3 declawed cats and we are talking about moving in. However, Bigfoot ( my only cat of 4 years ) is not declawed and we are worried about how to introduce them, without anyone getting scratched and how to make things go VERY smoothly. when the time comes, I plan on clipping his nails as short as I can, and have considered soft-paws.
Any other suggestions? Bigfoot even beats up on my dog, so i’m really worried how he will be with 3 cats that can’t fight back.
thanks in advance
Sounds like you are doing it right. Clip those claws and introduce them slowly. Keep them apart during times when you can’t supervise until everybody learns to live with each other. Hopefully he will react differently to other cats than to dogs.
Licking Paws Itchy Ears
Licking Paws Itchy Ears by Kevin Gawricki
Dogs who lick their paws a lot and have very itchy ears may be doing this because they are reacting to grains in their diet. (As always check with your vet).
Here are two great recipes for dog treats that are grain free.
Cheese Biscuits
3 cups garbanzo bean flour, plus extra needed for rolling
1 cup cheddar cheese
¼ cup powdered milk
2 tablespoons safflower oil
¾ cup warm water
Grated parmesan cheese for topping
Pre Heat oven to 375°
Mix flour, powdered milk, and cheddar cheese. Add oil and water. Stir into dough. Add some more flour (up to ¼ cup) until dough rolls easily. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and roll to ¼ to ½ inch thickness. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Store in refrigerator in airtight container.
Liver Crunchies
1 pound ( 2 cups ) beef liver.
2 eggs
1 ½ cups garbanzo bean flour.
½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
Pre Heat oven 300°
Puree liver with eggs in food processor. Add mixture to flour in large bowl and stir in cheese. Turn onto baking sheet covered in grease or non-stick foil. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool, peel off baking sheet and cut into treat size. For soft treats refrigerate treats, for crunchy treats return to oven and bake at 150° for three hours until treats are hard and crunchy. Twice-baked treats can be stored at room temperature.
