Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2005Afwul 'lost cat' poster
Seen on a mailbox in Indy: ------------------------------------------------ The cat's photo, and below, a text along these lines: "Missing from [date], [address]. Kitty just had declaw surgery, front paws are sore, cannot walk very well. Please call blah blah blah" ----------------------------------------------- Poor, unfortunate animal. Of course she ran away from her torturers. I'm sorry I didnt write down these f.ckers phone number. How horrible! Are we sure it's true?

You have no idea why they declawed her. Most of my cats were declawed, but that was before I was informed what it /really/ is - I won't ever do it again ... but that's me. There may be a good reason they had to have it done, there may be the reason that they (like me) don't understand.

I just don't understand this. Before I ever read a single newsgroup posting or article about the true nature of declawing, I knew it was wrong. I just knew, in my gut, that removing a cat's claws left them unable to defend themselves and wasn't right. I didn't need to be shown all the gruesome details. I just knew. I'm sorry, and I'm honestly not trying to attack you, but the position is so alien to my point of view that I can't comprehend it. Perhaps it's because I spent years 5-9 in Germany. I've certainly noted since reading these groups that Europeans are vehemently anti-declaw, so maybe I absorbed that somehow when I was a little kid, despite the fact that I never remember it being discussed.

I agree. You don't need to be educated about the gruesomeness of declawing to know that it leaves a cat defenseless, which is a bad thing in case the cat ever got out. And I always figured that something that's illegal in many countries can't be all that good. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album Monique Y.

If your cat lives indoors without being turned loose outdoors, then what do they need defense from? Fierce dustbunnies? > I'm sorry, and I'm honestly not trying to attack you, but the position > is so alien to my point of view that I can't comprehend it. > Perhaps it's because I spent years 5-9 in Germany.

There's NO good reason to have a cat declawed, you don't HAVE to have it done, you choose to have it done. Unless the cat say had cancer of the claws or something similar? Even then I'd think long and hard, thank god it's illegal here, about the only prohibition law that makes any sense. |
