Tuesday, 12 June 2001 | Shredded furniture

English Richard wrote me today, reminding me that news and reactions are different where he lives. There, capital punishment is simply backward and outdated, regardless of your place in the political spectrum. Here, it's something else entirely.

I came across this alternative to declawing your cat today. It's too late for me... Getting my cat declawed was never an option, and, until today, I'd never heard of "nail caps," so my furniture was shredded at the edges long ago. But, man, what an alternative. I'm not sure what to think about the fashion colors, or whether cat humiliation is any more humane. (This was the last mention of cats for at least a week, I swear...)
