I am deeply ashamed to admit that I declawed 4 cats that I had all at once in my very early 20's. I was young, ignorant and in my defence, didn't know any better. Now I do, they actually don't just remove the claws, they amputate the first knuckle off of each toe, OMG! I was shocked. I was just as shocked when I got my first cat neutered. When Mozart, my Sealpoint Siamese heart cat came home, with 2 less, adorable, chocolate coloured balls.... I was SICK!!! Live and learn eh. Albeit the neutering had to be done but....EEEEK! 😡😝
