All About Our Claws

After reading our previous blog entry on being hand-fed,

Mr Puddy wanted to know how come our Mommy seemed scratch-proof.

To answer this question,
I was going to take a back seat and
let Slash show off his claws.

But as you can see,
Slash's paws are quite yeti-fied.
So I replaced him with myself.
(Sorry, bro.)

When we were young,
Mommy introduced us to a
weekly manicure and pedicure.

But at that age,
our claws grew faster than mold.
And they often split too.

Mommy soon found out that split claws were ideal for

tearing off feathers from our wand.

And for tearing the fur off Slash.

(Sorry again, bro.)

Now that we are older,
Mommy gives us a bi-weekly claw trimming.

Because they are always short
(and also because we are kind and polite kitties),
Mommy can bathe us, groom us and
hand-feed us without getting scratched.

We can play with our wands without pulling off the feathers.

We can wrestle without pulling out each other's fur.

I can cuddle Slash without scratching him.

And he can cuddle me without scratching me.

We hope this answers your question, Mr Puddy!

Thank you for stopping by and admiring our claws!
