How do I deal with a cat with CLAWS – INSIDE- my house?!!?

About 3 weeks ago, at most, a young-looking cat came into our back yard. My daughter felt horrible, because it was freezing outside and she could tell the cat was hungry, but she absolutely could not get the cat near her. We decided to warm up some canned tuna, and she placed it at the very back of the yard. Over time, she slowly taught the cat to come up to the door, she will open the door, and the cat will go straight into a small dog’s crate and sleep there, then wake up in the morning, meow, and expect to be let out.
The problem is, when my daughter lets her out to play, she starts scratching on all our furniture! The only cat I’ve ever had was a rescue that was de-clawed, so I know NOTHING about taking care of cats with claws.
Could you please advise? This isn’t our cat, but we also don’t want to ignore her needs.

What breed can I register my Dogo as in the UK and have it believed?

I’ve had it since its birth. A truly beautiful dog that I took responsibility of and fully socialised/ trained/ looked after myself. About 7 months ago I rescued this dog from a bunch of thugs who were planning to raise it to participate in dog fighting, don’t ask me how but I made sure these idiots were not going to infect this innocent and beautiful creature with their hate..

That being said.. It’s banned. I know. But it doesn’t deserve to be put down because of circumstances completely out of the dog’s control. It has been COMPLETELY socialised around both children, other dogs and even CATS!! (112 lbs of Dogo often runs away scared from my cat when it decides it wants to steal the sofa from him!) so having an idiotic governmental law that was hastily brought in to control this breed’s population applied to MY dog is out of the question. I also follow the law that applies to exempt dogs even though it hasn’t been exempt.

Anyways I feel like I’ve ranted somewhat… please can anyone advise how to go about getting my beloved Dogo registered as a different breed that is believable? I know some of you will want to berate me for this question and may even report it but I’m pleading with you to see sense.. I really am desperate. I’ve fallen in love with this dog and I know with my continued training with him (i don’t let him get away with any bad behaviour but im never cruel to him) he will never be a danger and is not a danger to anyone or anything.

Please help. I can’t lose him.

Thank you.

Why is buying from a reputable breeder better than buying from a backyard breeder or even adopting from shelte?

Why is it better to buy from a reputable breeder spending 2,000$ – 5,000$ for a puppy
rather than buying one from a back yard breeder
or even adopting from a pet shelter?

adopting from a pet shelter doesn’t guarantee the dog’s health so you can end up spending thousands of dollars on vet bills
Reputable breeders charge sooooooooooooo much & what do you get really how much am I saving?

Backyard breeders sometimes do offer health guarantee & sometimes have puppies in the house & in better conditions than even shelters.

I would like real facts not peoples opinions please very important.
Thank you everyone great info.

And before you say “find a breeder and ask!” I intend too as soon as I find a good one. I just want a good heads up on how much 🙂

What should I ask a dog breeder to determine the reputation of the breeder and the quality of the dogs?
