Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2003hurt kitty!
I told you all last week how my 7mo kitten was getting spayed and declawed. Well, everything went fine and she is healing nicely and seems to be back to normal. But tonight I was in the kitchen and kitty got underfoot as cats tend to do and I turned around and stepped on her front paw. She cried and about a minute later I noticed a trail of blood on the floor. I didn't really step on her very hard at all, but I guess it was enough to open the wound. Fortunately, the blood clotted almost immediately and I put a bit of the antibiotic ointment the vet gave me on it and she seems to be okay now (no limping). Poor kitty! But u don't feel sorry for declawing? Strange... > I told you all last week how my 7mo kitten was getting spayed and > declawed.

If you all recall it was me who defended her but I was overruled by my family. It really isn't such a horrific procedure as some of you suggest. > > Why should he, loon? I declaw all my cats.

The pain/discomfort from the procedure is only one of the things we try to warn about. Approximately 1/3 of declawed cats will later show behavioral problems such as urinating outside of the litter box, spraying, and biting. Many of these cats end up by being left at shelters or simply dumped somewhere because people are unable or unwilling to deal with these problems. Many declawed cats will also suffer from arthritis because their bodies are not in correct alignment after declawing -- after all, this involves amputation and not morely the removal of claws. Fingernails on a person are not the equivalent of claws on a cat! MaryL > The pain/discomfort from the procedure is only one of the things we > try to warn about.

Every cat I ever had declawed began biting a very few months later. And they were not biters before the procedure. I don't declaw my cats anymore. LT And why do u have cats? If u can't accept them as they are?! M.Sigfridsson > Why should he, loon? I declaw all my cats.

I adopted a cute little kitty that was declawed. Her owner was moving and couldn't keep her. She the best kitty I've ever seen. Sweet as pie and so well behaved. I've had her a couple of months and am still pinching myself! > And why do u have cats? > If u can't accept them as they are?!

Chopped the gonads of any cats lately, loon? Kept any cats from going outside and hunting lately loon? Hypocrite.

In a much more drastic way than getting them declawed. And you attempt to keep cats from being what they are - namely hunters. I get my cats declawed because it is healthier for them, and I do not let them go outside. > get a clue before you start throwing stones You need to work on reading comprehension, loon. I'm pointing out the hypocricy of the anti-declaw loons here. Are you one of them? Yes, and they are not outside unless I'm out with them. > Chopped the gonads of any cats lately, loon?

Poor kitty! Declawing is pure cruelty to cats. Its not comparable with cutting of the "gonads". That keep the population down and many other things that u should know if u have any interest in cats. Scratching is something a cat have to do for it's own wellbeing. Scratching is not only for keeping the claws short. I understand that u don't want be reasonable so I give up. I'm not god at writing and express myself in english and I have better things to do so this is the end of discussion. > Why can't YOU accept cats as they are? > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > >> >> >> I put a bit of the antibiotic ointment the vet gave me on it and > >> >> >> she seems to be okay now (no limping). Poor kitty! > Declawing is pure cruelty to cats. Its not comparable with cutting of > the "gonads". Based on what, loon? Your interpretation of what is cruelty and what is not? My cats _all_ recovered much faster from declawing than from getting spayed or neutered. Much faster. So you are nothing but another hypcrite. > That keep the population down and many other things that u should know > if u have any interest in cats. I know why this is done loon, but I also don't have your illusions about what it does for a cat. For one thing it negatively affects the health of a cat long term. > Scratching is something a cat have to do for it's own wellbeing. > Scratching is not only for keeping the claws short. Nonsense. If going through the motions of scratching are important to a cat then they can still do it when declawed. > I understand that u don't want be reasonable so I give up. > I'm not god at writing and express myself in english and I have better > things to do so this is the end of discussion. Reasonable to people like you is believing exactly what you believe, loon. " Reasonable to people like you is believing exactly what you believe, loon." Same to u, trailortrash! > > Declawing is pure cruelty to cats. Its not comparable with cutting of > > the "gonads". > > Based on what, loon? Your interpretation of what is cruelty and what is > not?

An (ex and very stupid) friend declawed her cat...it took many days to recover and the cat stopt using the litterbox. > So you are nothing but another hypcrite. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Reasonable to people like you is believing exactly what you believe, loon. > " Reasonable to people like you is believing exactly what you believe, > loon." > > Same to u, trailortrash! Whatsamatter, loon? > My cats recovered in one day. Bullshit. I have yet to see a cat recovered in under a week. |
