[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear god..some of these replies   :roll:

We declawed our last cat (she passed away about 3 months ago), when we got her from a rescue at 2 years old. Our vet did the laser treatment and it was 100% fine. She did not “turn” into an aggressive cat or bite like others have said happens. She was the sweetest, mellow cat ever and had no issues with the declawing. We now have a 2.5 month old kitten and will be bringing him in to be laser declawed soon.[/quote]
Why? Why on Earth would you declaw sweet mellow cat?
And kitten? What that baby did to you?[/quote]

PP here- we didn’t want our furniture destroyed and had young toddlers. [b]The cat was 100% fine after and had no issues at all from the removal[/b]. Again, our vet does laser removal and we were able to pick her up 2 hours after the removal.

As for this kitten, he is awful with his claws. He’s 11 weeks now and claws up furniture (yes we have two cat scratch posts for him) and climbs up everyone’s legs with claws out. We are covered in scars and marks from his nails. We tried the caps and they didn’t work and our vet suggested we do it with this one. He said he performs at least 1 a week. [/quote]

You know very little about cats, clearly.  Felines are notorious for hiding pain: your cat most likely DOES have twinges and arthritis.  And so what if your cat didn't develop behavior problems?  You seem to think that since the cat isn't doing anything to inconvenience you yourself, there are no problems with the fact that you amputated half of each of his toes.  How selfish.  Please rehome your kitten to someone who will not cut parts off of him.  Cats have claws.  Since you can't deal with that, you shouldn't have cats at all.

I'm curious.  Why do you think countries have banned declawing if declawing is no big deal?  Hmm?

You should be ashamed of yourself.  And know that many of your acquaintances judge you just as I do.  Gross.[/quote]

All those countries that banned declawing should have banned cats.  They're incredibly invasive, decimating bird and wildlife populations.

1. Declawed cats can still catch birds, and 2. banning cats altogether for this reason is a different argument entirely.  But your attempt to scramble together something that approaches (but doesn't quite reach) a logical argument indicates that you KNOW declawing is wrong.  [/quote]
