[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you absolutely know that you are giving your cat to a no-kill shelter, tell me what the difference is between giving up your cat to be killed or declawing it?

How about we amputate both your arms.  [/quote]

[b]Would you rather I put the cat[/b]/or you down? See how your analogy doesn't make sense?
Declawing a cat doesn't mean it can't still do its day to day activities. My declawed cat was still a master bird-killer. It still did cat things - just without ruining my furniture, my rugs, my linens.[/quote]

If my vet said to me "Either we declaw the cat or it has to be put down" for some health reason, then I would say yes, declaw the cat. But I'm never going to declaw a cat just to save my furniture. What's next, amputating a cats legs so it can't run outside when someone opens the front door?[/quote]

My sentiments exactly. Saving your furniture is not a good enough reason to do something like this. And while I'm glad there are stories of declawed cats out there who had happy lives, it doesn't justify doing it to more cats.

And also the PPs trying to start a cat vs. dog argument can go troll elsewhere. I know plenty of dogs who chewed up furniture and clothes and shoes. My BIL's dog literally ate the stairs one night. There will always be pets with problems. [/quote]
