SEBASTIAN GOES TO SEE SANTA CLAUS

A belated Happy Christmas Sebastian.

That is terrible !!! To blatantly advertise a supposedly last resort operation is disgraceful and I must agree with you that vets who declaw cats are only in that profession for the money.
They obviously hate cats because no one who loves cats would abuse them that way.
I think those vets are realising now that they can’t get away with it much longer.
They must know that many more people are finding out the truth and joining those against it.
They must read articles on the internet and be worried their easy money is in danger. They are pushing laser declawing as more humane in the hopes that will fool clients.
The world is watching and waiting for those vets to catch up with the civilised world where cats are not second class citizens and have the same rights as dogs do.

I recently got an advertisement in a coupon envelope from a new vet in the area offering discounts on declawing. I got so angry I wanted to write them a nasty letter. How vets gain profits from animal cruelty is crazy. They should have their fingers removed and not be allowed to practice. How can a animal lover turn to animal hater is beyond me. I always thought to be a vet you had to love animals. Now I think people become vets just for the profit of having a career. These people are really sick and should not proclaim themselves animal lovers.

I hope you get your wish for your forever home to be always with the people who rescued you from life in a cage …or the death that vet wished for you ….
My Christmas wish is that 2011 sees the end of declawing forever.

Thanks for your comments everyone.
Elisa I don’t really know that Sebasatian could write much more as he told his story and it had an ending.
I was surprised when he popped up for Christmas lol
I think he might just leave the telling of cat stories to Furby

Man thats so sad poor Sebastian having to use his Christmas wish to stay in his home forever.
I forget hes not real as Ruth has made him come alive in pictures and words and there must be thousands or even millions of real declawed cats like him.
All cats should be loved forever and not have to wish for good food and love and to be looked after properly and keep their claws.
Its their right and I think they have as much right to have rights as we do.

This is the most touching blog I have seen for a long time.

Too late for Sebasatian’s finger and toe ends to be saved but I’m with his mom and dad who wish for an end to this abhorrent surgery for good.
What else could that little cat wish for but to stay in the happy home he has at last.

I have re read his whole diary and gone through an entire box of paper hankies.

On behalf of Sebastian I wish that all the cats out there who are going to be Christmas presents never have to go through the cruelty of declawing.

Hopefully next year Sebastian will tell Santa that for Christmas he wants to see the end of declawing.

Declawing has been going on for so long, the concept of it is ridiculous. For Christmas I wish that all declawed cats can have a day of happiness, I hope that they can see through their pain and enjoy this season that humans take advantage of.

If I could wave a magic wand I would give Sebastian his claws back so he could show his pawrents how he exercises and plays and jumps and runs as was his wish as well.

I can’t wave a wand though Sebastian but we can carry on working, trying our best to convince everyone that declawing is wrong and cripples cats for life.

I’m sorry you can’t have your claws but I’m happy that you have lovely caring pawrents who understand what you’re going through. Have a purrfect Christmas with them.

Sebastian went to see Santa Claus? I bet he thought it was Santa CLAWS!, and that the best holiday and all year round gift for all the kitties in the world to never have to worry if their “pawrents” would ever consider declawing them!

What a brave kitty!!!

Happy Holidays to everyone, and lets pray that this wish comes true VERY SOON.

Bonks and purrs,

Jo, Hubble and Hush Puppy (who love Santa Claws)

That is so lovely.
How brave Sebastian is and my Christmas wish is the same as his mom and dads that no cat is ever declawed again.
But the greedy vets and ignorant owners will keep doing it until it’s banned.
I pray that’s soon.

I agree with all comments made so far…
What a wonderful Christmas present it would be for all of us to hear that de-clawing is banned world wide!!! This is just a dream, but dreams DO come true!
As Barbara said, the tide is turning, but it has been a very hard and long slog for Barbara and Ruth, who are absolute Earth Angels for this very important cause.
If cats could talk human, the sound would be defening with all of their heart felt
“thank you’s…”
To all the people who believe in de-clawing,
just stop and think about it and study all the facts. Stop thinking of yourselves, and think of what you are about to do to a loving and loyal friend!!! You are going to sentence a pet you supposedly love to a life time of unbearable pain!
Can you really live with that???
It is your KARMA………

Thanks for showing us the picture Sebastian, I’m happy that your mom and dad understand you and are kind to you, I think you will be with them forever.
Oh if only Christmas wishes could come true, wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could wish that no more cats would be disabled by declawing, that vets would honour their vows not to harm animals and that cat-parents would realise what a terrible thing declawing is. I think there is a shift in the tide, there are more and more people speaking up against declawing and of course there is the rally next July. There is a long road to go but even if we can take a few steps along it then all our efforts are worthwhile.
Merry Christmas Sebastian, Merry Christmas to the people of POC,Merry Christmas to all people who work for animal welfare, Painfree Christmas to all the cats for whom stopping declawing would come too late. And I have to say it, Horrible Christmas to those who declaw or condone declawing.

I wish you’d write about Sebastian more often. I love his stories. Come on Ruth, I know you could think of more. And he needs a Facebook page.
