I recommend getting a scratch post. One of my mother's cats, would always work its claws into the side of her couch when it was a kitten. Eventually, it became an outside cat (she lets it out like dog - its on a schedule - no catbox) and now it does the clawing thing on the trees and doesn't mess with the furniture.
Its a baby, its going to eat a lot. Get it a few catnip toys. They have it at the supermarket.

make it an outdoor cat. let it live....
my outdoor kitty hunts all day, she is the top of the food chain in my yard...I've seen her spring into the air and catch birds mid flight...also she caught a rabbit the other day and ate the whole thing. the rabbit was as big as her....when I say she ain't the whole thing I mean the entire thing, like skull, brain, bones, everything. I didn't know cats could do that.

I agree. My mom's cats kill birds and leave them on the porch for them (my family) to see in the morning. They also kill the field mice. One of them fought a racoon, but the racoon won that fight and killed the cat. They also climb trees, and hangout with the dog next door. I'm amazed by it too.

this cat is a puss and if it went outside a bird would probably eat it

She had a host of problems brought on by the disease. Mainly it affected her lymph nodes in her neck and behind her ears. They swole up so large until the ruptured in the middle of the night.
We practically camped out at the Infectious Diease doctor's doorstep during the whole ordeal. I never want to go through that again.
you know, i always thought cat scratch fever was a myth......i had a new cat every summer when i was a kid and now im shocked i never got it....cuz i was mean to cats.....HumorMe said:

Only cats (kittens) less than a year old can transmit the disease. We were given the kitten and it was an outside cat to start off with. We took her to the vet and had her dipped and shots, etc.
Apparently she already had the disease (it comes from a flea bite and becomes transmittable) when my daughter was playing with it, it scratched her around her neck area. That is why those lymph nodes began to swell.
The lymph nodes looked awful. Big knots the size of a ping pong ball and a deep bluish purple and you could see the veins. Very angry looking knots.
The dr. decided to let them rupture on their own since manually draining them could take a year to a year and a half to completely stop draining. Once they ruptured they sealed up on their own and quit draining. She has since had a very low immune system tolerance and she takes vitamin C to boost it.
It was quite an ordeal. In fact the dr. was a teacher at the medical school and used her as a case study for his classes since she had such a strong case of it. They determined the strength of the disease by diluting her blood like 1:1, 1:2. 1:4. 1:8. etc until it reached something like 1:1028 or something like that. He said it was the strongest case he had ever seen.
She is over it now but it was quite stressful at the time. We travelled to the dr office 80 miles each way, 3 days a week for like 10 months so he could monitor her. It took about 2 years before he cut her loose.

kittens aren't into catnip. mine didn't like it till they were maybe 1 or 2 years old
keep teaching it on the scratching post but remember they like to touch stuff and they're curious, and also various stuff will feel good. My furniture is mostly hole-free (sometimes she gets caught on the cushion when she's looking at something, then makes a hole freeing herself)... and I keep my closet door closed.
oh, and while it's young train it on a leash, give it baths (keeps hair down), clip nails (saves your furniture) and brush its teeth (saves its teeth when its older). Things I wish I could do now, but as an adult she'd freak.

Good ideas!!
Just don't give the cat a bath more than 1x per month as it dries out their skin -- leading to a bunch of other problems....
And start trimming her nails.....
For some reason I don't trust women who own cats. Only dogs.
I "tried" to give Mr. Maxx a bath once. I repeat, I "TRIED" to give him one once. I found out that if there is about an inch of water in the tub he'll get in it.
FYI, start a cat off as a kitten in the water, they will play in it as an adult like a dog. I wish I did with Maxx

Klu - my cat sneezes a lot too. Esp when she wakes up from one of her "naps".
Damn thing sleeps a good 20 hours a day.

Klu, i'll take a pic of what my mom made Maxx. She made him a pillow that goes in a larger wicker shaped bowl, the second a camoflauge tent that he hides out in. Especially if I put it outside.
Point is, make her one. Each time she lays in it, you can get all gushy thinking, yep, I made her that.
