Of Mice and Men and Cats and Boys

Will my cat survive the terrible two's? Will she survive the "hugs" that leave her tied into pretzels and the "kisses" that leave her nose somewhere near her tail? She is a good cat...too much like a cat for Bill's taste but a good cat. I am relieved that we got her front declawed. I wasn't sure we should do it at first but she is a strictly indoor cat and I wondered what was less humane, declawing the cat or watching her scratch Aren's eyes out. He is never malicious, simply a little too loving and I can't say I blame Jewel. I doubt I would sit there and let some giant baby squish me without putting up a pretty darn good fight.
