[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why do we condemn declawing but promote spaying/neutering? Both remove a body part. Both are painful and invasive. The cat’s body and physiology are affected by both. Everyone I know who’s had a hkysterectomy felt huge changes, and I’m guess most men would feel different if their balls were removed. I’d assume cats feel the same way. But one is seen as inhumane and one is seen as responsible. Why is that?

If the answer is so that there aren’t more unwanted cats, why not just keep all cats inside, or give them some sort of birth control? Why aren’t you criticizing people for fixing their pets and instead giving them (expensive, time-intensive) alternatives? [/quote]

You are anthropomorphizing. [/quote]

There's a reason you're supposed to wait until after the first heat to spay your dog, and also wait to neuter him.  Generally, for other animals, there are significant differences, physical and behavioral, between neutered and entire animals.  Anecdotally, I've heard it's true of cats, too.  [/quote]
