    They can USE them just fine, it’s choosing NOT to use them that takes maturity. I’m convinced kittens wind up in car ar engines just because they can’t resist sticking their claws in the tires, and next thing they know they’ve climbed up into the engine block

      My damn cat and I had a petting/biscuits standoff today where she kept digging biscuits into my boob and I kept petting her and she refused to stop until I stopped petting her. I won that standoff: I kept petting her until after she got bored and decided to take a nap, but I swear I’ve got like 20 minutes of claw marks in that boob I’m gonna have to get a new one.

        Mine is like a year old and still does stupid shit. When does it stop?

        My old cat was old, and super well behaved and nice and friendly. This new one is an asshole.
