Happy Declawed Cats
by Grant
(Toronto, Canada)
I have had a couple of laser declawed Abyssinians and it did not effect their life negatively in any way.
They were pampered with the proper litter for weeks and visits to the vet after to ensure proper healing.
They both climbed trees up to 18 inches in diameter, they could jump to the top of a door and swam in the bathtub and the first in a pool as they loved the water.
Their paws spread open like a hand to pick up small items up to and including marbles.
If they wanted up they jumped not climbed.
A cat may use its claws to play with small animals but any large sized cat the teeth are its real weapons.
Regardless of being declawed or not pets should not be allowed to run wild.
Stop scarring people from declawing cats that may end up homeless because they will scratch children, older people and furniture.
Don’t take your cat to the local Humane Society where all the money goes to the staff and advertising and take them to a proper well equipped vet.
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
ASK ANY MAN IF HE WOULD RATHER BE DECLAWED OR CASTRATED BEFORE YOU PICK ON THIS ONE PROCEDURE.

The responses to Grants post are sickening. Clearly they love cats more than human beings. If someone is ignorant to something, perhaps you should approach them with the same mentality as you do your cats. If you spend your time treating your cats the same way as Grant – A human being, in case you forgot(accusing, attacking, berating, belittling, judging) I’m guessing your cats aren’t happy, claws or not. I’m not a fan of declawing, but I believe that I’d rather see a cat declawed and brought into a loving (albeit ignorant) home than euthanized. The cat will grow old and love that family if it is taken care of and loved in equal measure.
