[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We owned two declawed cats who have since died. [b] They lived long, happy indoor lives[/b] and until the very end of their lives, never had issues peeing outside of the litter box or other behavior problems. My take is cats are better off having a home, even if they’re declawed. There are millions of stray cats and cats in shelters. Your cat would likely prefer a declawed life than a life in a shelter or euthanized.[/quote] They lived long and happy lives because they didn't know any better, they adapted. It's like a friend of mine who had a dog that was hit by a car. The dog lost one of his legs, but rather than put it down, they kept a three legged dog. Sure, the dog seemed happy enough. It still wagged its tail and licked your face but it doesn't mean cutting a leg of a dog is a good idea, especially if it doesn't [i]need[/i] to be done. Mutilating an animal just to save your furniture seems heartless and cruel. [/quote]
