	We have a very active young kitten and, since we don't want
to declaw her (!) we have come up with a painless alternative...

we take a nail clipper (human-type) and clip off the very tip of
her claws on her front and back paws about every month.  This 
allows her to still have claws but they aren't needle sharp, so
she can bop about and attack us without our being too mutilated.

As she gets older she'll have real claws (sharp and all that) so
she won't be defenseless...

	Now if we could file down her teeth... :-)
