Kylie came to me declawed. I never really thought much about it before I got a cat. Now that I have been educated, no I wouldn't declaw.
Do people at the end of their rope, that have tried everything possible, still love their kitty when they have to get them declawed. Yes I believe so.
Is Kylie my princess? Definately. It wasn't my choice/decision to get her declawed.
Do people need to be educated about this barbaric action? Yes.
My friend that has Kylie's sister didn't have her declawed. Before I knew better I told her to do it, she didn't and Tome is very happy with all of her claws. Kylie is happy even tho she doesn't have them, well at least I like to think so b/c I love her so much. I just hope and pray that she doesn't have any behaivor issues. My thread of hope is that she realizes that I didn't do it to her!!!
