Cubby you responded at the same time I did! I hope you know that in no way am I referring to you. It would have killed me but if there was no other affordable housing available for me and my option was to lose my baby or declaw, I would declaw. You did what you had to do and I commend you for loving Cubby that much.
I'm referring to the majority of animal owners. Not the people who see thier pets as family members.
