What affects us affects cats
COMMENT ON NEWS: This is obviously great news. Even if it is a single veterinary clinic in Fargo, USA which has decided to stop declawing cats, it is progress towards the eventual cessation of this discredited operation in North America. One day no veterinary clinics will perform the operation. The sooner that day arrives …
The AVMA statement on declawing: “AVMA Policy: Declawing of Domestic Cats: The AVMA discourages the declawing (onychectomy) of cats as an elective procedure and supports non-surgical alternatives to the procedure.

Clearly not a lot of concern has been demonstrated in finding out the percentage of cats declawed in America. I have …

On November 8 2017 I posted some pictures of the regrowth of a cat’s dewclaw after it was removed in a declawing operation (as were the other claws). Remember this is not ‘declawing’ per se. It is a partial amputation of each toe from the last knuckle. That page got 56,000 shares. So people …
