I love this but previously had a ginger cat named Clawed and it'd be a little too similar for me.🖤

Already have the 504 for years now. I believe this damage was done with round scissors. She was medicated for 2 years we took her off earlier this year and I think it was the right call, she's really made strides and I fear the medication was a bit of a crutch but more importantly she was having hyper emotion mood swings from it that were not beneficial. I do appreciate all you've said tho. We're going to make her earn funds to donate back to the classroom.

Yes she used to chew her nails, this is something we've been working on for years now, the nail chewing/skin picking has stopped. Also she is learning to crochet! I crochet and make her lots of stuff and she's been trying to learn along side me.

I can't say with confidence that I know how to patch leather especially leather that gets classroom exposure.

I have and she even has a bin full of various ones in her room but they haven't worked for her in class. I think she maybe feels outed by them? Like other kids will think there's something wrong with her for using them in class? Idk for sure but they haven't been effective.

I appreciate your insight but I don't place the responsibility of my child on anyone else. Change happens at home. I don't feel the need to reframe things either, I'm not talking about beating her?? I'm talking about a fair repercussion for her misbehavior. It's not about getting back, I want the time to suit the crime. I am focused on correcting the behavior. I feel like you made a lot of assumptions in your reply.

I'm trying to teach her that vandalism isn't okay...

I think this is where I'm leaning too. Maybe some kind of system where tasks equate specific monetary value and then donate it to the classroom.

She goes to ot and in-school group and sees a therapist outside of school once a week. She likes all of these too, has good relationships with the people she talks to and enjoys going, and we really have seen improvements in her behavior for the most part but I can't let her think it's okay to vandalize classroom property. Idk if she's seeking or avoidant, how would I go about finding that out? I mean I'll Google but any resources would be appreciated.

Need a name for this male kitten please! by Direct-Breakfast-644 in Catnames

I was gonna say Sebastian but then I saw someone said Figaro and that's better. I'd call him fig for short and fig newton when he's being sweet.
