Cosmic Alpine Scratcher
Cosmic Alpine Scratcher - sounds super. And it works. Forty-two reviews on Amazon.com give it an average of 4.5 stars. And the delicious Christie Long, AKA The Pet Doctor, on coloradon.com recommends it. She is a vet who is against declawing but does not go so far, regrettably, as to never do the operation. Shame. Maybe she is under peer pressure to keep friendly with the rest of the vets.
I wonder how much pressure vets in the USA feel who don't like declawing but can't say so publicly for fear of being an outcast in the veterinarian community. Nearly all American vets declaw.
Here is the cosmic scratcher. Anyone considering, even beginning to think about declawing should look at alternatives first and then read all the declawing articles on this site. Sebastian's Diary is a very good start and a good read.
