My female cat "Precious" has finally figured out how to use the doggy door after 2 years of watching my wife's dog. I don't mind at all because she really enjoys the outdoors. However, I found found that she is putting her good hunting skills to work. She has brought a live bird into the house and killed/ate it inside (then puked it all up). We put a bell on her, and now she's killing all the lizzards (we like lizzards, they eat the bugs).
My wife is the type of person who HATES germs, bugs, lizzards, mice, and especially blood. She has decided that she is going to get "Precious" declawed to stop the killing.
Please help me! I need to know:
1) Is there a better alternative to help her stop killing (we can't keep her inside because that would cause problems with the dog)
2) Will declawing her actually stop the killing or do cats adapt?
