Cats I have had have helped me greatly. They got me through a bad marriage, the divorce and we really enjoy having kitty around. Lucy has climbed into her cactus bed now that it\u2019s chillier. We\u2019ve got a good kitty and I hope she sticks around. It\u2019s hard to find kitty cats without their front claws anymore. I\u2019m too scared to clip the nails and the last one we had for a while was a good boy, but all those nails! Everything was a scratching post.
