What is your opinion on declawing?

[Uabassoon]

Since you don't have a cat currently you can always adopt a cat that is already declawed. My sister lived in a place that would only allow declawed cats and she found it cruel but really wanted a cat. So she just kept going to the shelter until she found one that fit the criteria.

I probably wouldn't have wanted to adopt a cat without claws (if possible) just because of my 2 dogs, and Marta has a very strong herding instinct, so I needed a cat who could whap her in the face if necessary. However, they are getting along quite well since Seine showed them who's boss....

I am against it! I think a lot of people are...AND no matter what it shouldn't be done!

Its actually against the law in san francisco. I went through a lot of couches with my rb gigi but I never declawed her, I discussed it with my vet and she was thankfully against it and discouraged me. I could not guarantee 100 percent that she would not sneak outside and I was afraid she would get hurt.
