He came to us declawed (niece worked 12 hour shifts as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse, and couldn't let him claw up the house or let him out), so he cannot go outside, unprotected and defenseless.
Since Snuggles Kitty died 4 years ago and he's 8 now, he's become quite calm and sedate.
Still, though, loves to 'talk' to us, and sing with me!
He is a Fine feline. I would love to get my hands in his fur!
I love cats, but alas, my Doxie does not. That's why we don't have one. Everything with four legs that is not identified as a dog is a "badger" to him. And his mission in life (as it should be for every dachshund worth his salt) is to rid the world of badgers. LOL
