Jill does a good job of keeping her fur clean and beautiful. She'll also share some licks for you if you're lucky. Occasionally, she'll give my hands a little grooming if they are in the right place at the right time.

A Declawed Cat

Jill is a front-declawed cat....Declawing cats can sometimes result in long-term pain or stress in the cat...luckily for Jill, she doesn't seem to suffer from any of the negative side effects of declawing. She uses her paws to express affection and she doesn't mind you touching her paws. She reaches out to touch the person she's sleeping next to often...she also will "make biscuits" or "knead" with her front paws when she's really happy.



Occasionally Jill will try to scratch the cats' scratching post as if she had claws. Because scratching helps cats de-stress, I encourage Jill in this behavior. It's cute and sweet that she tries. I hope it helps her release whatever stress builds up between her cat naps and eating. : ) It was also something she started doing only after she got settled in to our household.

If you're looking for a declawed cat, perhaps Jill is your gal.

On another note...look at that cute nose! Does Jill have a darling face or what?? I was chatting with some APA people about how beautiful Jill's face was and they mentioned that many British shorthairs and Russian Blues have short faces like Jill does. We obviously have no idea what Jill is - and who cares! Her little face speaks for itself...
