I was wondering, has anybody noticed that declawed cats are more likely to bite when you're just trying to be friendly? It's somewhat startling to have a cat come up to you begging for stroking, you oblige, and then it bites you. It's only happened to me with declawed cats. Some of my friends don't have their cats declawed precisely because of this - the cat ends up much more likely to use their other sharp pointy objects on you. -- Chris Lewis, UUCP: {allegra, linus, ihnp4}!utzoo!mnetor!clewis BELL: (416)-475-8980 ext. 321
