This site is filled with knowledgable people.

Just think from a logical point of view :-

If the majority of cat lovers are trying to educate new members about the perils of back yard breeding or declawing, shouldn't you think carefully about the facts being presented ?

At the end of the day, we post out of concern for the cats in question, if we didn't care....we wouldn't post.

You might feel attacked as so many people oppose your current beliefs. However if you listen to the good points being made with an open mind, you will learn more about your cat(s) than you ever need to know.

The more you learn about breeding, rescue, declawing and behaviour, the more you'll understand why the majority of people hold the views they do.
