11. My cat raises such a fuss over claw clipping

that the vet sedated her the last time and then charged me an outragious price to discourage me from bringing her back again for clipping her claws.

It worked. Kitty has not had her claws clipped since then. My hands and arms bear witness to that. She is not a mean cat, but she is very playful and energetic. I have to move my hands out of danger very quickly when tossing a toy for her. She is also very persistent in tapping me with a paw for attention. She does back off though when I say "ouch." She's learning to pull the claws back and to demand attention in other ways, e.g. staring me down, eyeball to eyeball, or knocking things to the floor.
