The vet told us to use newspaper in the liter box. I am not sure if the oatmeal will harm your kitty or not. I am also not sure about the other. I would check with your vet.  |

the nipple might be itching her so she's sucking or biting on it to make the itch go away  |

the litterbox is a difficult situation you might want to ask your vet about feline pine instead of oatmeal, the reason your cat can not have normal clay and such is because of infection where here tendons were ripped out, so feline pine being a natural litter might work. my cat pulled at her nipples for a while after she was fixed due to pain, talk to your vet about it  |

Getting a cat declawed, well, mutilated can do alot of Emotional and psysical damage, that could be the problem. Litter box problems is one of common problems after amputation. Think about it this way, amputate up to the first joint of your fingers and toes, then try scratching around in oatmeal...  |

Yup Becky, some vets refuse to do it, with good reason. Thats why alot of cats get dumpted at humane society's, and sometimes the street because they have alot of issues after being declawed. If you like I can give you a few links about it. |
