Outdoor cats. I've had them (or rather, my dad always ended up letting the cats go outside, whether it was a good idea or not.) But letting a declawed cat go outside?? *facepalm* People, I do not understand them. (My feelings on declawing in general are distinctly not of the warm and fuzzy variety as it is.) GAAH.

Glad the little guy has a home. Are you going to get the neighbor to pay you back for the vet stuff? She should at least buy you a present or bake you something. Though paying you back would be better.
