Chibi

Ann's interests have always been music and art. But when her cat, Chibi, drowned in the pool, Ann had to write this book. Chibi could not get out because he had no claws.

If a cat has no kind human being to give him food, he needs his claws to help him find his own. If attacked, he cannot climb a tree or protect himself without his claws. Declawing a cat is a painful procedure and continues to hurt long after the surgery.

Ann hopes that children reading about Chibi will understand how important it is for cats to keep their claws. In New York, it is against the law to declaw a cat. Maybe that will become the law for all of the United States.
