LOL…they def can be bastards. Tyson weights about half as much as my daughter so they get rowdy. He scratched her probably out of instinct if she laid on him to hard or something. A thought of bringing out the 12 gauge pump was definitely on my mind before going to Childrens Hospital though…he escaped even without a smack b/c I was in a hurry LOL, I thought about it and figured since he is so old he would be in enough pain from being declawed and he is being pampered as we speak.
