The vet here thought that snipping the tendons was a more "humane" form of declawing . He gets to keep all his toe digits, but because of the cut tendons he is unable to extend his back clawsies to scratch people/things. The claws still need to be trimmed regularly because they grow just like normal claws. Yeah.... like I said, this was before I adopted him from his previous owners. I hope that he won't experience any long term effects from it.

I'm glad that my Boomie isn't the only kitty with that funny toe. I better not let him see the thing about Greek statues or he'll be even more of a handful! (*snicker* no pun intended)
