Well, I now have 2 kitties, in addition to my Moxie puppy. They have both been fixed, but not declawed. It is hard, trying to teach them to stay out of living room, where they could snag my furniture. George & Gracie are their names. 

I am not a true cat lover, but these kitties were abandoned in our yard, and they were going to kill them, at shelter. I could not allow that, so here they are. George is a lover, and a bull in a china shop. Gracie is all demure, and sweet. But, they shed. Eek.
