HOME GLOWUP 1/2 ⁽ᵉᵃˢʸ ᵖᵉᵃˢʸ⁾

STEP 1: CLEANLINESS

You do know how some homes are welcoming and some simply aren't, the moment you enter... the smell does matter a lot.

Wash all textiles, including curtains, decorative pillows, bedcovers. They DO refrain a ton of smells and dust, body sebum, food smells that can make a house smell off. Clean the curtains, furniture, decorative pillows, and other fabric items every season.

Change the kitchen linens everyday or every other day. They are especially susceptible to odd odours, as they retain food bits. I make it a rule to have 7 sets of kitchen linens, which means 7 rags, 7 hand towels, and 7 dish linens, so that if one piece gets dirty, I can easily change it out.

Take out the kitchen trash EVERYDAY or every other day at MOST. If you don't produce that much trash, time to scale the trash bin down. For the other room's trash, it tends to be less smell-producing but I would make sure to change it 1-2 times a week.

Make it a habit to do the dishes as you go, or every evening. No buts nor maybes.

Activate the fan and take down the toilet lid every time you flush down, I think you understand what I am meaning by that. An additional option is to make room sprays avaliable nearby. It can be Febreeze, or some fancy room mist, to your taste.

Have a COHESIVE house scent across rooms. Don't do lemon scents in the bathroom then rose scents in the bedroom. make it cohesive aka within the same perfume family (fruits, florals, woods, etc) or pick scents that are known to fit well together (chocolate and spice, orange and spice, strawberry and light florals, etc). THAT DOES INCLUDE CLEANING PRODUCTS!

Burn incense, or candles. Beeswax candles are amazing to bring in cozyness, a bit pricier but a little goes a long way!

Do not dismiss the power of OPENING WINDOWS and AERATION. Takes off anything musty smells, changes the air for cleaner fresher air. If you live in the city, dismiss that and choose a HEPA portative air filter. They're wonderful for smell elimination.

Keep down any pet scents as much as humanely possible. Take out the kitty litter every day, use litter baskets that minimize smells (like those closed ones), do a litter overhaul every week. Remove urine scents with enzymatic sprays first (avaliable in pet stores). Giving baths to dogs and cats (for other pets, make sure to check if it is okay as some pets cant be bathed) every month, or better, bringing them at the pet groomer.

Establish a clear housekeeping routine, to keep everything clean. It is better to dust weekly than removing a massive coat of dust every season (ugh). There's whole routines you can google so you can create a nice frame for your housekeeping needs. I remind you again: housekeeping done regularly makes life EASIER. A 30 min weekly dusting is easier and feels better than a 4 hour dust crust removal every 4 months.

STEP 2: DECLUTTER

Visual clutter distracts the mind from the actual art/architecture features and makes a space seem trashy even if it may be extremely clean. See how hotel rooms feel CLEAN and agreable as hell... It is because it is clutter-free and streamlined for easy cleaning aka minimum clutter.

If you declutter, you're actually making your cleaning routine way easier. Less stuff to get around, obviously. Spare yourself the pain of cleaning by decluttering.

No clothes on the floor, and remove those you don't want anymore. No more "cloth chair". Reserve a specific space (hooks on the wall, a different basket from dirty laudry) for the "not quite dirty, will rewear again" clothes.

No clothes chair. You did read me right. I am repeating it again because I'm sick of messy girls glamorizing that fucking cloth chair. Sister, that sounds lame and you sound like a teen and not an adult. Growup.

Try to keep anything cluttered that you can't declutter (p.ex: laundry basket) in concealed storage. In the wardrobe, behind furniture, etc. We want to minimize anything visual clutter by diminishing the number of items the brain has to analyze.

Color variety DOES contribute to clutter. I am not encouraging you into going monochrome obviously but, a room with 5836 completely contrasting colors will be harder to keep less visually cluttered compared to a curated palette room.

Neat and orderly clutter is always ever always better than disorderly clutter. If you can't get rid of your book collection (which is fine btw), dedicate a specific space to those books, and look into alternate covers for those books (some books come wrapped in cloth then an amobile paper cover, the paper cover is just librairy publicity for the book, just ditch it you won't regret it.

Remove labels from products, like the dish cleaning soap bottle, except if it's essential (p.ex. dangerous chemical products). Written stuff DOES contribute to visual clutter.

This post is to be followed by another post next week, and I'll talk about palette curating and making the home cozier. See you next week! 💎

Hearth Fires 11: Keeping Score

Pairing: Remi Denier x OFC

Summary: Lorel Maddox just wants to live as a human, run her bakery in peace, and forget. Unfortunately, the alpha of the local leopard pack has very different ideas.

Remi Denier doesn’t know what to make of the female Changeling who wants nothing to do with him or the RainFire pack. He does know that he has a driving need to protect her. Even if it’s from herself.

While they’re embroiled in a battle of wills, there’s a war brewing on the horizon. The outside threat could not only destroy everything they hold dear, but tear apart the fragile new bonds of the Trinity Accord, plunging the world into bloodshed to rival the Territorial Wars of centuries past.

Word count: 5467

Hearth Fires Masterlist

Beta read by the unmatched pandabearer

FROM: Zayaan Derici <email redacted>

TO: Lorel Maddox <email redacted>

October 12, 2083 2:30PM

Subject: SweetCheeks Bakery Account 66274

Dear Ms. Maddox,

You are hereby notified that on October, RainFire Inc. did acquire the fixed rate loan account #66274 filed under SweetCheeks Bakery on July 15, 2083.

Effective November 1, your monthly payments are to be made directly to RainFire Inc. as per the attached form.

Sincerely,

Zayaan Derici

Lorel strode into the lobby with a sheaf of papers in hand and murder on her mind. Behind her, the door shut on a whisper, sharpening her ire. She wanted it to slam, the disturbed air would shift her curls, announcing her presence in a terribly dramatic fashion. Then it would have been easier to hold onto her usually short-lived temper. As it was, nerves made her more likely to giggle at the absurd mental image.

The surge of outrage Lorel rode died a little more to give way to awe at the ultra-modern design of the office. To the left, a bank of windows overlooked the river below. Bright green sofas and chairs were laid out at precise angles to maximize the sleek lines of the furniture and to provide the best views of the water.

A stream of smooth rocks flowed between the seating arrangements and along the window. Grasses, ferns, and other plants of varying heights and colours sprang up from the meandering path to soften the austere effect of the furniture and lend an air of privacy.

The entire place was obviously designed for people accustomed to roaming the mountains and woods, not sitting behind a desk for eight hours a day. Her scuffed and flour-dusted black canvas sneakers on the mottled wood floor sounded loud and out of place in the open space.

The woman at the front desk was as sleek and modern as the rest of the office. On the wall behind her, succulents formed a living mosaic of colours and textures that seemed to serve as a frame for her stunning features. Thick wiry hair was pulled into a large puff on the top of her head, which accentuated her high cheekbones and willowy build; its texture and shape reminded Lorel of a fluffy, black cloud. The bateau neckline of her ice-white sheath dress showcased collarbones sharp enough to cut. If Lorel tried to wear anything like that, she’d look like a marshmallow on legs.

Her own dress with its pumpkins, bats, ghosts, and candy corn felt woefully out of place. Oh well, it was too late to run home and change into something more professional; the elegant woman behind the desk already spotted her, not that, that was a difficult feat considering her fanciful outfit stood out like a sore thumb.

“Hi, how can I help you?” she greeted Lorel with a small, polite smile that flashed a hint of perfect, brilliant white teeth in fascinating contrast to her deep cool-brown skin.

“Please tell Alpha Denier that Lorel Maddox is here to see him.” Lorel tried, unsuccessfully, to keep the bite out of her tone; the woman wasn’t to blame for Lorel’s mood.

“I’ll see if he’s available.” She didn’t bat an eye at the hard edge in Lorel’s voice. She was a leopard, Lorel could tell by her scent, and obviously accustomed to working with cranky, predatory changelings.

“It’s all right, Shantanna. I’ll see Miss Lorelei.” A shiver ran down her spine, like it always did, at the way he drawled her name as if it was something delectable that he wanted to savour.

The RainFire alpha stood in a doorway off to the left, practically filling it, with his hands in the pockets of his grey wool slacks. His black leather shoes with perforated embellishments reflected the ambient light and probably cost more than her entire outfit combined. A sky blue shirt set off his sun-bronzed skin and brought out the amber of his brilliant topaz eyes that threatened to take her breath away every time she met them. The sleeves were rolled up to expose chiselled forearms brushed with sandy hair. It was all camouflage to hide the lethal predator under the trappings of civilization and lull the unwary into a false sense of complacency. She knew well the need to appear human.

With that reminder as to her purpose, she strode past his arm outstretched to welcome her inside and he shut the door behind them.

Muted grey light filled the room thanks to the floor to ceiling windows along the back and left walls. Graceful glass terrariums of succulents hung in a curtain across the right-hand wall; the globes were strung, several to a strand, from clear plastic tubing that appeared to act as a watering system. A square, grass-green rug took up the centre of the floor and showcased his desk. She wanted to take off her shoes and dig her toes into the short, dense pile that mimicked a patch of moss, maybe even stretch out on it to nap in a sunbeam. The silly urge snapped her out of it and back into reality.

“What is this?” She spun towards Remi and thrust the document she'd been clutching in his face. It was a bit worse for wear from the way she'd clenched it in her fist on the way over to the building that served as headquarters for RainFire's commercial enterprises.

“It appears to be a notification of service transferral, specifically a commercial loan.” Most people tended to instinctively flinch when someone yelled and flung something in their face. He did not. Brows the colour of burnt butterscotch rose. “If you don't understand, I’d be glad to go over with-”

“I know that!” she snapped. “What I want to know is why?”

“It’s a common business practice that allows financial institutions to-”

“Really?” Folding her arms, the paper further crumpling in her fist, she glared up at him. It was really difficult to glare imperiously at someone taller. “RainFire coincidentally buys my debt less than a month after your ultimatum?”

“You must think rather highly of yourself to assume that we’d go through that much trouble for a small business loan.”

The fire in her eyes went out so suddenly that they looked dead. Merde, even her spray of curls seemed to wilt. The jibe was meant to get her dander up, not destroy her confidence. The mistake was his for treating her like a dominant predatory female, like someone who could hold their own against him. A series of faces flickered through his mind like a movie, each one as hurt and as closed off as the one in front of him, a veritable parade of submissives who’d been crushed by indifferent dominants.

By a heartless alpha.

He could act as if he hadn’t just bruised her sense of self and avoid admitting fault, thereby preserving his pride. Or he could admit he fucked up and try to repair the damage he’d done. Female pride was important, no matter their position in the hierarchy. And yet an alpha had to be respected and whose strength was unquestioned. Without that, the natural aggression of dominants would tear a pack apart.

When faced with situations like the one in which he found himself in now, he asked himself what his father would have done. Then he did the exact opposite. That decision-making process hadn’t steered him wrong thus far.

“Any leverage, no matter how small, can be used against you. RainFire won’t exploit that, even if you decide against us.” Light returned to her eyes as she mulled over his words. He just wished they lit up that way when she looked at him instead of darkening with irritation.

He leaned against his desk so as not to loom over her. She barely came up to his shoulder, the perfect height to tuck her into his side. Kissing her, long and deep like he wanted to, would probably give him a crick in the neck, but the globes of her ass would be perfect to haul her up. Her curves were like a backcountry road, one that he’d like to explore by moonlight, and would be a soft cushion for a hard male body. And she could wrap silky thighs around his hips…

“This isn’t about me as much as it is having an unknown element in your territory with a weakness that leaves me vulnerable to your enemies. By removing that, it lessens the chance that I’m coerced into espionage or otherwise manipulated into acting against RainFire’s interests.” Her scowl smoothed as she followed the ramifications in her head to their logical conclusions.

Mais, he wouldn’t have thought she was devious enough to come to that conclusion.

“Being blindsided like this makes me less amenable to cooperating with RainFire, let alone acquiesce to your proposal. If you have any other concerns, please air them now, Alpha Denier.” She went to brace her hands on her hips, remembered that she clasped the paper in one hand when it crinkled, and shoved it into a pocket in her voluminous skirt.

“I told you not to call me that,” he growled.

“You asked me not to call you ‘Mr. Denier,’” she corrected, her eyes laughing at him. His own cat laughed with her, amused by the characteristically feline logic.

“And to call me Remi.” He tapped her nose with a finger just as he would if she were a misbehaving cub. Nose wrinkling and eyes crossing, she shook her head slightly as if she’d never been tapped on the nose before. Come to think of it, she probably couldn’t remember such a fond gesture from her parents. By the way the ocelot glared out at him, it understood and wanted to take a swipe at him for the audacity.

He watched the woman smother the cat until he almost couldn’t sense the animal anymore in her smoky blue eyes.

“You might want to take a seat,” he scrubbed a hand through his hair and gestured to the pair of slate grey armchairs that faced his desk. Perhaps he should’ve suggested she remain standing instead because that was exactly what she did, folding her arms and settling her weight more evenly in her stance. The semi-feral kitten gave him a hard stare. It wasn’t half-bad, kind of cute, actually. “Have you ever heard of the term ‘rogue’?”

“It happened to RedRock,” she nodded. Few people whose lives were shattered by rogues could be so matter-of-fact when speaking of it. Those affected by rogues, no matter how tangentially, tended to feel the wounds for years. Then again, she had been quite young at the time, her parents were probably little more than scents and impressions in her memories.

“You weren’t much older than Jojo when RedRock disbanded, were you? You were away visiting your grandparents. Did they ever tell you what happened? Or did you look into it when you were older?”

“Everyone went rogue and slaughtered each other, my father killed my mother.”

There was so much bullshit in that impassive statement packed around a grain of truth that he didn’t know where to start. He was too blunt and direct. He had no idea how to gently destroy the lie she’d been told her entire life. Not that she was likely to trust him if he was oblique about it, anyway.

“We’re taught control as cubs, how to balance the animal with our humanity because we are neither one nor the other, but both.” He held his hands in front of him, palms up, raising one and lowering the other, then reversing until they became even again to mimic balanced scales. “Without that foundation there’d be more rogues, those of us who become mindless with bloodlust. They’re fast, cunning, and will slaughter anything that moves. The number of changelings who go rogue is less than one percent. It’s not a virus or bacteria, so it’s not contagious. The chances of an entire pack going rogue are astronomical, you’d have better odds of winning the lottery and being struck by lightning on the same day.” He couldn’t calculate the probability in his head, but the metaphor was apt enough.

“Your father was a sentinel, he died protecting your mother. She was protecting the ten-year-old son of the rogue from his father. See, when a changeling goes rogue, they attack their loved ones first, some say it’s to sever their last ties to humanity. Animals will kill for three things: food, mates, and territory, which is really an extension of the first two. Humans are the only ones who kill for emotional reasons like anger or pleasure.”

“I don’t believe you.” She sank into a chair, hands folded so tightly together the bones pressed white against her already pale skin. Despite the shock, she focused on one of the succulents, eyes flicking back and forth as if she was reading rapidly or flipping through memories in search of something.

“I expected as much.” Going behind his desk, he fished something from a drawer.

“What happened to the boy?”

“He’s alive and well, with a mate and kids of his own now.” Circling back around, he handed her a slip of paper with a name and phone number on it. “He’s looking forward to hearing from you.”

Accepting it with a trembling hand, she tucked it into a pocket, still not looking at him. Ignoring the leopard, who was pushing at him to take her in his arms and comfort her, he stepped backward to give her space.

“Is that what’s happening to me? Am I losing control of my animal and going rogue?” Her voice was thin and brittle, sending his protectiveness surging to the fore. Hands tipped with short, blunt nails smoothed the fanciful fabric of her dress over her knees. He didn’t like the way she was avoiding his eyes, not due to the hierarchy, but because she was afraid. Only the knowledge that she was scared of the answer and not him kept him civilized.

Crouching, he took her hands in his. They were cool and faintly damp with a speck of what looked like indigo frosting dried in a cuticle. By contrast, his were too big, rough, and bore the marks of a lifetime working with his hands. He gently pried her cold, stiff fingers open to reveal four fresh puncture wounds on each palm. The leopard brushed against the inside of his skin, wanting to lick the wounds clean, to soothe her. It didn’t care that such an animalistic act would likely send her running for the hills, or at least it would if those hills weren’t full of changelings.

“I won’t lie, you’re on the edge.” An ashen tinge spread in stark contrast to the constellation of her freckles. “Sometimes they can be brought back before they kill, but once they cross that line execution’s the only option.”

“You’d kill me if it came down to it?” Grey-blue eyes fixed on him with an intensity that struck him with a palpable force.

“I would hate you for forcing me into it, but yes, I would. So do us both a favour and behave.” Her rigid posture eased a fraction. What kind of person felt relief at the prospect of being put down like a rabid dog? And what kind of alpha would threaten someone so far down the hierarchy? “We can help you find your balance.” Satiny wrists warmed under his stroking thumbs and he thought that her pulse might have kicked up a notch.

“No thank you, I wouldn’t want to catch your fleas.” She pulled her hands from his grasp. Apparently, she was feeling more herself again if she was hiding behind jabs.

The leopard sneered. It did not have fleas.

“Ever heard of the words cut, nose, spite, and face?” He rose to his full height and folded his arms. “Tien can help you with remedial lessons. She’s used to teaching the cubs and juveniles and she should have no problem with a mule-headed ocelot. Or, if you’re afraid she has fleas- and I’d love to see you tell her that, I’ll make popcorn- Jojo might do it. After all, she does have better control than you do and even though she still shifts sometimes while clothed.” The change disintegrated everything one wore and children had difficulty remembering to remove their clothes, especially while excited.

“I’ll take that under advisement,” she said primly and rose to her feet, somehow looking down her nose at him despite their disparate heights.

“You’re not driving anywhere.” He didn’t step back out of her personal space, she was close enough that her body heat arched up against him like a housecat.

“Excuse me?” A red-gold brow arched. The response was so frosty it would have done a psy credit.

“You’re upset, distracted, the cat’s fighting you for control, and there are open wounds on your palms. What if you hit someone because you’re too proud to accept help?” Automatic sensors dotted the main roads, but not all of them. And there were plenty of pedestrians and children about at this time of day. “I’ll drive you home, where’s your car?”

“Even if I let you drive my car, how will you get home?” She folded her arms.

“I’ll have someone pick me up.” Remi held out an open hand.

They stared at each other for a moment. Finally, she sighed and slapped a ring with a couple of keys into his hand, a tiny knitted chocolate brown cupcake dangled from it; multicoloured beads dotted the frosted, mint green top like sprinkles. The sight of the cutesy decoration made his lips twitch. Fresh blood tinted the air and she winced, the punctures no doubt aggravate by the sudden movement. He selected the car fob and motioned for her to precede him out of the office.

“Shantanna, I’m headed out for the day,” he announced, shutting the door behind him.

“Don’t forget you got a meeting tomorrow at the sheriff’s office at ten,” his office manager reminded him without looking up from her computer screen. Although she could be amiable and make visitors feel welcome, she preferred not to disturb her workflow with unnecessary social interactions. Dealing with visitors wasn’t her favourite task, but one she performed well. That was fine by him, he didn’t need chirpy greetings and a smile every time he walked through the office. “And those contracts needing signed.”

“Thank you, have a good night.”

Still absorbed in the project she was working on, she made a noise that he’d learned over time meant “you, too.�� Lorelei looked perplexed, no doubt having met Shantanna’s public-facing persona on her way in. Since she was a potential packmate and he was escorting her out, in Shantanna’s mind, that meant it was acceptable to dispense with the pleasantries that didn’t come naturally to her.

Their footsteps echoed around the empty stairs that wound through the centre of the building. Light spilled from the dome skylight above and onto the mustard coloured leaves of the birch tree that staircase spiralled around. In the vestibule, she paused to admire the wall of moss and gnarled wood and he took the opportunity to send a text. With a small smile on her lips and wonder in her eyes, she reached out to gently stroke the living sculpture; like most visitors, she was fascinated by the integration of green spaces into RainFire’s headquarters.

“This is amazing,” she breathed.

“Biophilic design is one of RainFire’s specialties,” he explained, holding the outer door to the parkade open for her. “Rain and greywater are filtered and recycled, reducing our dependency on municipal water. Where are you parked?” She pointed to an older midnight blue sedan down the row on the left and he suppressed a grimace. The best quality that particular model was known for was its paint job. He cocked a brow at her. “You drive this deathtrap? Is it even hover capable?”

“Of course it is, just not currently. Plus I can fit a three-tier wedding cake, groom cake, and six dozen cupcakes in the back. What do you drive, this example of a desperate need to prove one’s superiority via more horsepower than a single person could possibly use?” She gestured to his car.

“At least my car’s battery isn’t known to spontaneously catch fire, unlike yours.” He opened the passenger door for her and she slipped in as graciously as a queen, ignoring him entirely.

Crossing to the other side, he frowned at the driver’s seat. Obviously, he couldn’t fit with the seat positioned for her much shorter height. Even after resetting it, he still felt a tad claustrophobic behind the wheel. Her scent, honeyed with a hidden bite, filled the enclosed space and his body tightened in response as sexual hunger sank its teeth into him and refused to let go. Ignoring the pulsing heat in his veins, he guided the POS out of the parkade.

“Your meeting with the sheriff, that’s not about what happened the other day, is it?”

“No.” The habit of covering a potential weakness, one ingrained in him at an early age, and the driving need to protect those most at risk of abuse, which had developed later in life, warred with each other. In the end, the latter won out. That she should come to harm when he could have warned her was unthinkable. “One of ours was attacked, we believe it’s because he was dating a human.”

“Oh my god, I heard about that, but I didn’t know he was a leopard. Who was it? Is he ok?” She brushed his arm with a hand as if instinctively wanting to comfort him, but snatched it back as if burned, the ocelot probably warning her that he hadn’t given her skin privileges yet.

More importantly, she’d just intimated that she’d be open to skin privileges and probably didn’t realize it. The leopard grinned in a decidedly wolfish way.

“Stian, he sore, yeah, but he’s healin’ good. What I hear, his ex's good, too.” Now that he was out of the office and driving, even if it was a disaster on wheels, he relaxed and slipped into the Cajun accent like an old, comfortable sweater. Although she probably wouldn’t understand a word if he slipped fully into his native dialect.

“Blond, beard, looks like a Viking and a surfer had a baby?” Hands moving like they often did when she spoke, she gestured to indicate Stian’s artfully tousled hair.

“That’s the one,” he chuckled at her description. He'd have to tease Stian with it later when he wasn’t hurting emotionally. Braking as they approached a red light, his heart skipped into his heart when the car didn’t slow. They came to a hard stop a second later when the pads caught. “Did you know your brakes are slipping?”

“Yeah, there’s a hiccup sometimes, just lightly tap the brake pedal,” she waved dismissively, ignoring his incredulous stare to smile at some Halloween decorations in a storefront. “You said they targeted him because he was with a human?”

“They were pretty clear on that point.” Not that he was about to repeat any of that filth where she could hear. The light turned green and the car rolled into the intersection despite the pressure he applied to the pedal, then jerked forward a moment later when the transmission decided to get with the program.

“Huh.” From out of the corner of his eye, he could see her chewing on her lip. Whatever was on her mind, it most likely wasn’t her ticking time bomb of a car.

“What?”

“Something Irena was telling me.” Pink lips twisted to find a new spot to nibble on. The safety alert beeped to warn that he was exceeding the speed limit. Snapping his eyes to the road, he dismissed the alarm with a swipe of his thumb across the pad on the steering wheel. While his biometrics weren’t programmed into the main system to allow him to unlock the doors or start the ignition without the fob, that sensor was capacitive.

“She and another crow from StormWillow were shopping at that makeup boutique a few blocks up the street from me. The owner was the only one working at the time and she asked them to leave their purses at the front counter, said it was store policy. Chloe and my aunt have been in there before and there were never asked to do that, I asked them. If that wasn’t enough, she watched them the entire time like they were going to steal something. Then she followed them outside and took down their license plate as they drove away. A cop pulled them over on their way home because the owner reported them as shoplifters. Of course, he didn’t find anything.”

“Were they municipal or county?”

“Um, county sheriff, I believe. Doesn’t that mean they’re out of their jurisdiction by responding within city limits?”

“You know about the psy Enforcement scandal?”

Scandal was a mild term for the abuses of power psy brass inflicted on human officers and civilians. The ones who believed themselves superior to humans manipulated evidence and minds alike with impunity to achieve their goals, which were usually more power and wealth for them individually and as a race. Along with emotions, the psy were re-discovering things like morals and conscience. Those reluctant to do so were held in check by their kin.

“Of course I have.”

“A federal task force set up teams at the state level, and they’re working from the top down. They’re starting with the most densely populated areas and working their way through the state, North Carolina’s currently working on Fayetteville. Some branches have already started to clean their own house. The chief of the BCPD was strongly encouraged to resign before his skeletons were dragged out of the closet for all to see. The sheriff was recently elected on an anti-psy platform and he’s taking advantage of the power vacuum to expand his influence.”

“Are there any changelings in local Enforcement to balance the situation?”

“RainFire doesn’t have enough dominants to spare, even if they were of a mind to,” he shrugged.

“Have any of the non-dominants expressed an interest?”

“They’re not trained and they don’t have the instincts.”

“Did you even ask? Or consider the fact that they might know what your views are and don’t want to be dismissed out of hand? I’m pretty sure that Enforcement provides training," she said sarcastically. "And instincts aren’t always a good thing, sometimes they’re really just subconscious bias. Look at what happened at the bakery; their lizard brains probably told them I was dangerous because I was an angry changeling, but they didn’t act on those survival instincts. Non-aggressive personalities can be beneficial when it comes to de-escalation. If the sheriff hadn’t been there, the entire incident would’ve been resolved in twenty minutes.”

Lorelei was right in that he hadn’t discussed it with the pack as a whole, it had only been a brief discussion during a meeting with soldiers and sentinels. Had he discredited anyone who wasn’t at least a junior soldier? Submissives tended to fight only as a last resort, serving as the final line of defense for the cubs; just because violence didn't come as naturally to them as dominants didn't mean that they weren't capable.

Some of his disgruntlement must’ve shown on his face because she patted his shoulder with a reassuring smile. It was a visceral example of a submissive's calming nature. She could be rather sweet when she forgot to hiss at him. Too bad he was anything but calm around her.

Remi’s presence filled the space, brushing up against her like a housecat. See, I’m harmless, my claws are sheathed and my teeth are put away. He was unbelievably dangerous, but for now, the beast wasn’t interested in hunting.

“You’re looking at it from an alpha’s perspective, not a human one. In the human world, they don’t have roles like soldiers and they’re not born with healing abilities like M-psy. They study and train for years, instead, who’s to say a changeling can’t do the same? Besides, even I can handle an unharmed human or psy and I have no training whatsoever.”

“Hard enough telepathic blow could still kill you.” The muscles of his forearms shifted tantalizingly as he guided her old hatchback through a turn. The intensity that always lurked beneath the surface translated into a passion for driving. It was obvious in the smooth way he maneuvered through traffic, an unhurried focus on the road, and the faint smile on his lips.

“So could a gun. And either could kill you, too, all they’d need in your case is the element of surprise.”

The edges of the woods peered over the houses on the left where they turned into her sleepy suburban neighbourhood on the outskirts of town. Halfway to her house, they paused for a game of street hockey to make way for them, the teams consisted of all three races. Some of them she recognized and she waved, they waved back. Her heart clenched at the thought of harm coming to any of the children.

The bungalow she shared with her aunt was a two-story nestled in the arms of the forest, its patchwork of brilliant colours glowing with the setting sun. They pulled into her driveway and she fumbled with the seatbelt. Manner, which had been drilled into her from a young age, dictated that she invite him inside to wait. He probably would feel as comfortable in her home as he did behind the wheel of her car, which was to say not at all. She'd had to hide a smile at his obvious discomfiture in her car; the hatchback had never felt small until he'd practically had to fold his massive frame into it.

Would he read something more into an offer of coffee? She didn’t know if she hoped he would, or dreaded it.

They got out of the vehicle and he met her in front of the car to walk her the short distance to her front door. The cupcake keychain Chloe made for her looked positively diminutive in his palm, which was warm and slightly rough with callouses under her fingers despite her attempts to avoid touching him when she took it from him.

“Thank you for making sure I got home safely, Mr. Denier.” What did one say to a man who'd decreed an ultimatum, bought her loan out from under her, then promised to kill her if she went on a murderous rampage? She fell back on the safe familiarity of etiquette.

Stepping towards her, he held her widening eyes.

She found herself pasted up against the closed door. The tiny hairs on the back of her neck stood in innate awareness of the big, dangerous leopard in human skin pressing up against her. They were alone and he could probably hurt her in ways she couldn’t even imagine before she could blink, but the fever in her blood was from anticipation and not fear. She felt small and intrinsically feminine as he braced his hands on either side of her head and bent until their breaths mingled.

“Don’t thank me for doing my job,” his voice bordered on a growl, thick with the leopard. “And I told you not to call me that. I’ll have to keep a running tally.”

“Of what?”

“Your transgressions.” His eyes went half-mast, letting her know that the threat was sensual and not punitive.

Slowly, so slowly, he closed the distance between them. At any time, she could have said no, or ducked underneath his arm to get away; instead, she held still as though she might startle him. He slanted his mouth over hers and she was glad the door was at her back because swooning was a real possibility. It wasn’t due to butterflies or fireworks, although those were definitely happening. The warmth of his lips on hers, his tongue coaxing her to open for him, the taste of him filled the howling void within her. Her hands rose unbidden to his chest, needing more contact, there was too much air, too many clothes between them. She wanted to gorge on him until she was no longer empty inside.

Remi pulled away and she wanted to growl and haul him back down to her, but movement in the driveway caught her attention. A rugged vehicle designed for rough roads such as the ones on RainFire land pulled up.

“Il faut je m'en vas, cher.”

And with a sinful smile, he stroked a thumb over her cheek, turned, and walked towards the car, leaving her staring after him, speechless.

Il faut je m'en vas, cher - I have to go, dear

How to remove cat urine smell from house?

The cat population in America is more than 75 millions, and anyone who owns a cat knows that stains and odors from cat urine can be a problem. Cat urine that seeps through carpet, into padding and down to the floor beneath can give your home an unpleasant aroma and bad look. In almost all cases, it is the worst perpetrator for pet stains and pet odors.

When cats urinate as a means of elimination, they normally do it on a horizontal or flat surface like the ground or in a litterbox. When cats spray in order to mark their territory, they turn their backsides to the object, twitch their tails and spray urine on the vertical surface. But in both cases, cat urine could come in contact with a carpet.

The cat’s urine is an amber-colored liquid waste fluid excreted by the kidneys and is composed of waste products of protein metabolism. The color of urine and its staining potential will often depend on dietary habits, age and sex of the cat, whether he is on medication, and the health of the cat. It can saturate absorbent materials such as padding, upholstery, and mattresses.

The older cats have diminished renal function, thus producing urine that contains more plasma proteins. Because less uric acephalia is secreted in this urine, it is less likely to stain a carpet, but it will produce an even stronger odor.

Typically, because cat diets are richer in protein than dog diets, their urine will produce harsher odors and are more likely to cause stains.

Urine can saturate absorbent materials such as carpet and padding, upholstery and mattresses well beyond the surface area that can effectively be cleaned. It is extremely difficult to remove all of the urine from inside of these materials. Even after a thorough cleaning, stains and odors often remain. So here are a few things you can do to eliminate the odor.

How to clean cat urine from carpet?

Removing it from your carpet can be one of the most difficult cleaning tasks since it produces an especially persistent, unpleasant odor and amber-colored stains, so here are a few things you can do to eliminate them when the “accident” has happened.

First, blot up as much of the urine as possible with a soft, clean white cloth or absorbent paper towel. Press down firmly (do not rub) for 30 seconds. The more fresh urine you can remove before it dries, the simpler it will be to remove the odor. Remove the towel and repeat the process until the area is fully dried. Rinse the “accident zone” thoroughly with clean, cool water. After rinsing, remove as much of the water as possible by blotting it up. Next, you have some options:

1. One of the newest technologies for cleaning cat urine is to penetrate the soiled area and deactivate the odor with peroxide. Simply spray a product that consist a 3% hydrogen peroxide and wait about five minutes. After that use a clean white absorbent cloth, blot the area, pressing down firmly (do not rub) for 30 seconds. Repeat this blotting process until the area is dry. If the stain or odor persists, repeat the process.

Matt Humphries (science educator at a museum) who have read this article gave us some suggestions for removing cat urine based on science: “I read your suggestions and hydrogen peroxide should be number

1. One of my cats was born with almost no large intestine, so he goes to the bathroom anywhere. Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, will damage proteins, lipids, etc. ( why it should NOT be used got first aid). Mixed with very little dish soap, it’s the best around. Apply liberally. Soak the area and you can leave it. No more stain or smell. A 3% solution is available from the grocery store. Under a dollar/liter. Do not water it down. A 6%, you can buy at a beauty supply store and if you really want to save money, you may buy a 35% from an alternative health store. It is sold as food grade. BE CAREFUL, it is very dangerous. Research how to handle properly. Avoid contact and any open flame. Must water it down. Do not allow contact with anything, god forbid skin, eyes, mucus membranes, ingestion, etc. This goes for pets too. If you so much as touch it, your skin feels like it’s burning.When it is used it breaks down into water and oxygen, which is why it’s very volatile but useful. It’s the cheapest and most efficient, effective way to remove stains and smells. The key is removal, not just covering up.”

2. Baking soda works well to eliminate surface (but not deeply penetrated) odors. Dampen the area with clean water and then sprinkle baking soda over it. Rub the baking soda into the soiled area and let dry. Brush or vacuum to remove the dry material.

3. Another option is the white vinegar. Mix together 1 quart warm water and 1/2 cup white vinegar, and dribble the mixture onto the stain. Place dry towels over the stained area and put something heavy over the towels to increase the pressure. After some hours remove the towels and raise the nap of the carpet with a soft-bristled hairbrush. Note: Test the vinegar solution on a piece of fabric that is hidden from view — under the cushion or on the backside of the furniture.

4. To clean old or heavy stains in carpets, consider renting an extractor or wet-vac from a local hardware store. The extracting/wet-vac machines work like a vacuum cleaner and do the best job of forcing clean water through your carpet and then forcing the dirty water back out again. When you use these machines, you should follow the instructions carefully.

Note: Don’t use any chemicals with these machines — they work much more effectively with plain water.

5. Another way for cleaning the cat urine from carpets was submitted from one of our visitors — Elaine Byrnes. She says that if you add several drops of Listerine mouthwash to the water/perioxide mixture it helps a lot with the odor. In addition to a great cleaning solution, this is a safe pest spray for plants that are in and around children or pets.

Once the soiled area is really clean, you should use a high-quality pet odor neutralizer available at pet supply stores. Test the affected surface for staining first, and read and follow the instructions.

If the area still looks stained after it’s completely dry from extracting and neutralizing, apply a specialized stain and odor removing bacteria/enzyme cleaner, such as “Outright Pet Stain Eliminator,” “Pet ‘Oops’ Remover,” or “Stain Gobbler”.

How to clean cat urine from your upholstery

When it is not possible to remove the cover of your couch or chair upholstery, observe the following cleaning procedures to get the cat urine out:

Dab stubborn stains with a soft, clean white cloth or absorbent paper towel. If solvents are required, avoid applying them directly onto the stain, and pour it onto a clean cloth. Clean the stain using a circular motion working from the outside inwards. After removing the stain, dry immediately with a hand held hairdryer using a cool setting. Take care to direct the air stream first towards the outside of the area working inwards. Always be careful to rub any stains gently and to use a brush with soft bristles.

How to clean cat urine from hardwood floors

Cat urine can harm your hardwood floor and can cause rotting. However, you might not be ready to replace your floor just yet, so here are a few things you can do to eliminate the odor. If you can catch the problem while it’s still “fresh,” you’ll be better off.

Remove any excrement and blot the entire wet area immediately and firmly with paper towels. Wash affected area several times with white vinegar. Rinse stain thoroughly with warm water. Blot dry with paper towels. Apply a specialized stain and odor-removing bacteria or enzyme cleaner.

Tip: Read the instructions carefully before using these products and test them in an invisible area. If you can not remove some old stains, try sanding away the stain and resealing the wood.

You must be extra vigilant about cat odor and attack the problems as soon as it occurs. Also, you should remove all traces of the odor because if the scent remains, the cat will do it again in the same spot.

CAT HOUSES AND CONDOS

https://www.poilsbebe.com/collections/cat-houses-and-condos

Buy Cat Houses and Cat Condos Online at Affordable Prices

A cat house is a cattery, a place for resting. Cat houses and condos can provide your cats with their personal space, a territory of their own.

Why does You Cat Need A Cat House?

A cat house can be the best choice to meet the psychological needs of cats: a place where they can brood, rest, sleep and have fun.

Different versions of cat condos allow cats to gain the necessary stimulation for their bodies and minds.

Interactive cat condos can help keep your cats very active and engaged for a long time, which is ideal when you are not around.

In addition to location, entertainment, and sports, these cat condos can also serve as an ideal way for multiple cats to interact with each other.

Normally cats would prefer privacy and personal spaces. Cat condos are designed in accordance with their habits. There are usually multiple levels or perches in one cat condo, and each cat can mark its own territory and live together peacefully.

An important reason for preparing a cat condo for your pet is when the cat is timid or anxious, the cat condo would give them a hideaway place where they can find a sense of safety and security. It is essential for cats to be able to stay away from unfamiliar situations.

Also, your cats can observe the surrounding environment clearly from the top of the condo, which makes your cat feel in control.

Types of Cat Houses and Condos

1. Cat condos

Cat condos are usually enclosed compartments located at any height on a cat tree. This is catering to the cats’ instincts of climbing and hiding.

There are various shapes and sizes of cat condos, such as houses, boxes, or wooden barrels, and those condos usually have at least one entrance through which a cat can enter and exit. Entrances are usually on the sides of a condo, but it isn’t uncommon to see designs where they are located on the top or bottom. These hidden designs not only allow cats to navigate in and out but also make it difficult for others to easily break-in. When your cats need to take a break, these condos are the perfect solutions.

If you have multiple cats at your home, however, the hidden entrance design may not be enough to prevent cats from fighting. When cats are competing for their own apartments, multiple entrances will provide alternative exit routes.

Most cats, especially those timid ones, are naturally attracted to enclosed space like a cat condo because the cat condo provides a sense of security. A cat condo can be a great timeout box for cats to stay inside when they want to relax by themselves.

2. Cat perches

Cat perches are also known as shelves, platforms, levels, on the cat tree. Those perches play a role as a resting space and a foothold for cats to climb to different levels of cat trees. Perches do not emphasize enclosed spaces, and they are usually flat surfaces or semi-enclosed compartments.

3. Cat towers

Cat towers are cat trees, characterized by tall vertical posts with a perch or condo on the top. Due to the high vertical height of the cat tree, a cat tree with a cat tower is usually larger than a normal cat tree because it requires a larger base to provide stability. In order for the cat to climb to the top, there are usually perches, acting like a foothold that guides your cats to the top of the tower. Some cat towers are not made with a wide base, but instead, feature harnesses that need to be installed into walls and ceilings. This type of cat tower is designed to take up less space and still give cats a height characteristic that they can "tower" in their environment. If your cat likes to climb on the shelf or refrigerator, a cat tower would be a great choice.

Generally, cat houses and cat condos can be classified in the following ways.

Classified with materials, cat trees and cat towers can be made from wood, bamboo, palm tree, olive tree, oak, birch and particle board, etc.

Classified with sizes, there are 2-tier, 3-tier, 4-tier, 5-tier, 7 level cat trees, and cat towers, etc. Classified with heights, there are 24-inch, 28-inch, 30-inch, 32-inch, 36-inch, 40-inch, 42-inch, 50-inch, 52-inch, 60-inch, 70-inch, 80-inch, 90-inch, and-100 inch cat trees, and cat towers, etc.

Classified with colors, popular choices include grey, pink, white, black, beige, cream, red, purple, and navy blue cat trees and cat towers, etc.

What is the Value of the Cat Condos

Provide a Sense of Security Coziness

Cat houses and condos allow cats to perch on a cat tree, even if they are only a little way off the ground. Houses and condos can also provide ample viewing (which can quickly turn into lounging) with an additional feeling of security, especially for timid cats to feel safe. Be careful though, a particularly tall cat condo may bring potential risks for kittens and very clumsy cats.

Give Space for Cats to Climb

Have you ever noticed how your cats aim at the highest place in a room? The reason why cats tend to prefer high spaces is that there is no doubt about investigating their own kingdom (your house, you, and your family). Also, high spaces provide cats with a sense of safety.

How to Teach a Cat to Love Her Cat House?

Make the cat house a center of attention. If your cat has a close relationship with you and likes to interact with you, then one of the best ways to encourage her to use the climbing area is to give her affection, praise, and petting on the climbing area. If your cat likes to be petted, you can save the kitty massage for the times when she's on the cat tree. Minimize her attention when she's on the ground or in her old climbing areas.

You can also play with your cat on the tree. Petting your cats and playing with them once they’re on there can help create positive affections with the tree mentioned above. Cats love to play—they’re hunters, after all. They would pretend things at your home as their target and prey on them. If they see the cat tree as a place they can get such stimulation and fun, they will enjoy this place.

Similarly, if the cat tree is a place where they get affection and love, they are likely to spend more time on the tree. Thus, make sure you engage with your cat a lot around the cat tree, bringing them there, and using the engagement as a reward for solo exploration. Eventually, even if you play with your cat less frequently when they are up there, they will still see it as a great place to go.

Where to Put The Cat’s Houses and Condos

A cat condo provides your cat with a place for resting. Since sleeping is an essential part of a cat's life, they tend to stick to their own favorite nap place. Then you may find it difficult for them to adopt a new cat condo. To increase the chances of a cat using the bed that you select, make sure to place it in a quiet place, and avoid any draughts. Usually, an ideal choice would be a warm place, especially near a radiator or under the sun during winter times. Some cats may also prefer to sleep at higher places, so don’t hesitate to place their bed on a piece of furniture where they will feel safe.

Choose your cat house location carefully. Place the cat tree in the part of the house that is visited most frequently by your cat. If you have more than one cat, they may not always like to share, and you may need to consider placing another climbing structure at your home so that all your cats can have access to climbing areas.

Ideally, a cat house should be installed in a location where they can have as broad a view as possible, i.e. a spacious room. Also, it may be better to place it near a window. In this way, your cat can watch birds or passers-by on the street as well as observing what’s happening at your home (such as in the hallway, kitchen, etc.).

How To Clean A Cat House

Vacuum Cleaner

Some cat house can be cleaned with vacuum cleaners that come with a special carpet brush. The carpet brush is usually designed with pieces of lint textile that help to pick up cat hair from carpets.

The vacuum cleaner gets rid of most hairs and other dirt, such as litter box fallouts, food leftovers, and sisal rope particles.

Special Hair Removal Brush

There are special lint-rollers extremely effective at removing hairs from carpets and other textiles. The cheaper version is well known as sticky rollers.

Pet Safe Universal Cleaning Agent

These cleaning agents can be used on any type of floor or surface. These cleaners are pet safe, containing no harmful chemicals even when your cat or dog walks on the wet floors and lick their wet feet.

Microfiber Cloth

Microfiber cloths are the most recommended tool to clean a cat tree. They can be used both dry and damp and will remove dirt easily with the help of those cleaning sprays.

The Declaw Dilemma

Here’s one that’s been bothering me for a while.

Firstly, before I ramble, I’m going to recommend a movie to every single one of you. It’s a bit tough to watch in some parts, but you can find it here: http://www.pawprojectmovie.com/

It’s a documentary that plainly lays out the dangers and concerns with the process of declawing a cat, in addition to information about the struggle in the U.S. where it comes to banning the practice due to the ease of the procedure for vets and the amount of money they can make from it. I’m not qualified to fully discuss that particular part of it, but it IS a problem. I feel as if the movie can portray the political and business aspect of the practice much more coherently than I can.

I can, however, go into the behavioral issues that arise with declawing.

Now, if anyone reading this is from outside the United States, you may be surprised to find out that the act of declawing is not banned in much of the U.S. It’s a practice that’s both considered inhumane and even outlawed in several different countries. Unfortunately, it is not the case here. In fact, there are apartment buildings or certain communities that require your cats to be declawed before you or your cat are permitted to take up residence there. Yes, the expensive and inhumane practice is required in order for you to live there.

Here’s a real basic breakdown - remember, I’m a cat behaviorist, not a vet. For those of you who don’t know, declawing a cat consists of amputating the cat’s toes at the first knuckle, removing the nail, or claw, completely. Other more “humane” practices are hardly that, and the tendon within the cat’s digit is severed, and the cat is no longer able to retract their claws at all, leaving them floppy and unwieldy. The claws still grow as regular nails do, and still require them to be trimmed regularly, the claws simply get pushed to the side if the cat swipes. Sometimes the entire nail is not removed, and the nail grows back inside the cat’s paw, requiring surgery to remove and causing immense pain. I’d post pictures, but I consider them far too grotesque and upsetting. Google it if you’re curious, and I apologize for what you saw.

Why is this horrible practice still a thing?

As I said before, money is a huge reason why many vets push back against the complete ban of the practice. The other reasons can all pretty much be summed up into one giant cause - misunderstanding.

I’m not out to demonize people who have their cats declawed. For years, the information wasn’t readily available. People grew up with declawed cats who turned out “just fine” (I’ll go into this later), so they had no idea that the practice was harmful, because they couldn’t see the evidence in person. Some people didn’t have a choice, and received cats as pets as children with the stipulation from an unknowing parent that the cat had to be declawed. I’m not here to point fingers. What I aim to do is educate, so the practice is no longer normalized, considering the banning of it is being met with resistance in the U.S.

Declawing, what you think it does, versus what it actually does.

Many people don’t like the idea that cat scratches hurt. People may have an aggressive cat and don’t want to be scratched by them. So, instead of figuring out where the aggressiveness is coming from and trying to solve the problem from a behavioral standpoint, it’s much easier to just take the weapon from them, so to speak. In reality, declawing a cat will not decrease the cat’s aggression. In fact, cats without their claws are statistically more likely to bite, and cat bites are nasty, usually requiring a trip to a doctor and some antibiotics, due to the bacteria in a cat’s mouth. Meanwhile, I’ve been scratched by enough cats to have my own battle wounds up and down my arms, yet I’ve never had a single problem. Put some peroxide on it and keep going. (That being said I always keep an eye out for any signs of infections just in case, and I urge all of you to do the same, depending on your level of wellness, in addition to the severity of the scratch. It is a much bigger deal for people with weakened immune systems).

Other people don’t want their cats to scratch the furniture. This particular one is the one that really sets my blood boiling. To completely, willingly mutilate your cat, because you’re worried about your furniture. To put the aesthetics of an item above the well being of an animal, to me, is unthinkable.Cats scratch things to mingle their scent with yours. There are incredibly easy ways to alter this. Putting scratching posts near your bed or your well-used sofas will encourage the cat to scratch there (because a scratching post feels better and works better than your couch anyway). Having deterrents to keep cats from scratching at doors. Putting up horizontal scratching surfaces to keep cats from clawing at the carpet. All easy and cheap fixes. They even make sprays and diffusers now to discourage cats from scratching in certain areas.

Cats need their nails trimmed, it can be a long and stressful process to do this, but it’s something that needs to be done in order to prevent nail overgrowth and severe scratching.

What else does declawing do to your cat, though? There are many issues that typically crop up either immediately or later in life due to declawing.

Declawed cats may stop grooming themselves completely, requiring an expensive grooming regiment (that means you will either have to bathe the cat yourself, or take them to a groomer, and it’s twice as bad if it’s a long haired cat).

Declawed cats may stop using the litter box entirely. The way the litter feels on their permanently sore and painful feet usually hurts so badly that litter is abrasive, so prepare for frequent “accidents” (so much for that expensive rug you didn’t want the cat clawing up).

As stated before, declawed cats are more likely to bite when cornered or feeling aggressive.

And, sadly, even if a declawed cat shows no outward signs of it, declawed cats are in constant pain for the rest of their lives. They may avoid certain surfaces to avoid hurting their feet. We liken declawing to cutting a person’s fingers off at the first knuckle, but in reality, it’s closer to having their toes cut off. The cat now has to re-learn how to walk with a new weight distribution. Oftentimes, this can cause joint and hip pain in the cat’s future. They have to tread carefully because their bodies aren’t meant to disperse weight this way. Meaning you’re in for pain medication as the cat gets older and even, in some severe cases, early euthanasia due to degradation of joints, muscles, and bone. So even if a declawed cat shows no other negative signs listed above, this one is a given. Cats are masters of hiding what is wrong with them, and pain is no different.

Regular nail trimming and smart placement of scratching toys, along with regular play and stimulation, can all keep a cat from scratching furniture. Getting to the cause of your cat’s aggression can keep them from clawing you. There are even things called claw caps, plastic caps that are (safely!) glued onto the cat’s claw after a trim. It keeps their claws from doing any damage, but also, as of my writing this, has shown no ill effects on the cat or their health. They pop off about two weeks to a month later, and you reapply, or have a vet reapply, when you would normally have to trim your cat’s claws again anyway.

There’s the argument that banning the procedure will increase the amount of cats returned to a shelter due to unwanted behavior. But frankly, if an individual is willing to return their cat without exhausting all other options, they would have returned the cat anyway the moment a single negative behavior popped up. People figure that they can train dogs to stop doing something they don’t like. You can train cats too, but too often cats are seen as accessories instead of living creatures with personalities and instincts. They didn’t come perfect, so there’s no fixing them (and oh goodness gracious is that so incredibly not true).

If you’re looking to adopt a cat, and you live in one of those places that require declawing, I implore you, please rethink it. Are you really saving a cat from a shelter if you’re condemning it to live in pain for the rest of its life? It’s a decision I can’t make for you, but I know what I would personally go with.

And for goodness sake, if you’re thinking about adopting a cat and you find out that they have been declawed prior to coming into the shelter, don’t turn your back because the cat will develop issues. There are ways of coping with the pain a cat experiences, and ways to work around it. Just keep in mind that it will be something that may come up after adoption. You can work with alternate litters, put in area carpets for hard wood floors your cat may find uncomfortable. You can work with a vet to find functional pain management for any hip or joint issues that may arise down the road. Take the information in stride so you can better prepare for what may be, since it’s easier to nip a bad habit in the bud before it becomes a full blown behavior.

And finally, I really want to stress that I’m not trying to call anyone out for having a declawed cat in the past, or currently having a declawed cat. But, take this information with you should you decide to ever consider the procedure again. Like I said, I can’t make decisions for you. All I can do is tell you what makes a happy, healthy cat. And a declawed cat is neither.
