Believe it or not, declawing cats is a slightly hot topic among pet owners. Some believe it is fine and have their cats undergo the procedure in order to save their furniture or to keep their young children from being scratched to pieces. Others see the procedure as inhumane. It is even illegal in several major cities in California for veterinarians to declaw cats.
So, where do you stand? Is it fine to declaw cats or is it inhumane?

Edited by UnclePeedee: 8/2/2016 2:55:30 AMLazy owners are too cheap to purchase a scratching post for their cats to use so they decide to mutilate the animal instead. A cats claws are not only its main weapon but its main TOOL and removing them is psychologically damaging to the animal. Akin to removing your fingers at the second knuckle. If you're going to mutilate an animal don't take it as a pet.
