This cat was cute and playful. He was gray and white, and was nice enough to visitors and family members. However, he suffered a prolonged bladder disorder that eventually led to his death after just a short year and scratched me on my face when I was just a child. I developed a bit of a timidity toward cats after this and still carry a scar on my lip and lower face. I have met and played with many other cats, but I feel that cats aren't for me really. My parents also had this cat declawed (this was the 90s when this was a popular trend) after he scratched me, and he never really recovered from that either emotionally. I would definitely recommend to never declaw your cat. It can be emotionally devastating for them. Image courtesy of Google: https://catcode.com/catblog.html
