A case for declawing

[asterroc]

Declawing cats is cruel. They don't just take out the nails, they chop off the entire first digit of all the toes on the front feet. Declawing a cat is a sign of laziness I think, because you can simply clip them frequently and have the same effect. That said, I just found a good case test where the cat really should be declawed.

The cat attacked a door to door salesweasel? She deserves a medal.

we wouldn't have declawed my cat, but we got her from a shelter and her previous owner had declawed her. i agree, it is cruel. would declawing Lewis help anything? my cat bites things when she wants to attack, and if she's not just playing it can really hurt. i'm sure Lewis would bite too even if he were declawed.
