Scratches

    In case you guys do not know I have a 5 month old kitten named Max. We got him from the humane society in late July. He is a ball of energy but also a ball of evil. Since he is still considered a baby he has not yet been declawed. This is bad, you see Max scratches everything and anything. He scratches the leather couches, the bed sheets, the carpet, the doors, and sadly my nephews. I have came to the conclusion that Max scratches the kids when they're all up in his grill. Max isn't exactly the lovey dovey cat he is a stay in my humans bed all day and sleep kind of cat. Later when the kids get home from school they grab him and start going bananas. Max tries to let it go but once he is annoyed his claws come out. Then this is when the damage is done. Usually my nephews try not to point out that they have gotten scratched but Max well he makes it obvious. When he is done doing the damage he quietly goes upstairs, going up one big step at a time.
