Cats have extremely sharp elbows.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

They come and sit on you and purr and expect you to pet them while they dig their sharp little elbows into your flesh. What do you do about cat elbows?

1. You can find a vet who will de-elbow them.

Or you can accept them as they are!

Put them on a kitty treadmill and put some muscles on those elbows.

2. uhhh...file them down?

:shrug:

3. I round them off with a belt sander. . . . works everytime . . .

:)

Just kidding, my kitties have dull elbows. Althea kneads me like bread dough and she has super sharp little claws though :)

On edit: I'm happy to see I'm not the only wiseass in the group tonight :)

4. I hate it when they gore you with their elbows!

OR when they put all their weight on one foot and refuse to move

5. Nothings Harder Than their Heads

My cat's head is so hard it hurts when she head-butts me! Ouch

6. Sure you don't have lobsters instead of cats?

Mine don't have sharp elbows that I've noticed?

9. AHA! That explains the antennae and the exoskeleton!

10. Well, at least you can console yourself.

Some boiling water, melted butter an lemon, and you'll soon forget all about their pointy elbows.

;)

Take care.

7. You haven't gotten any Cat Elbow pads ?

8. Put a blanket throw on your lap

then the blanket becomes theirs so they will sit on it wherever you put it. Works for me.
