my sister says to de-claw

[lvpets2002]

I do not beleive & have no respect for de-clawing & for anyone that does this to an inocent baby.. How would you like your nails pulled off.. Oh sure your asleep & in no pain when the declawing is done.. But wait till the feeling starts to come back & how painfull it could be.. Also if this baby has to always live indoors.. What if you have to give this baby up to someone else & they cant keep in the house & this baby is dumped outside.. Cats are meant to have claws.. They can not defend themselves & they can not climb a tree outside & or indoors.. I cant count how many cats I see on Pet Finder de-clawed.. I have nine babies indoors & all have their claws.. All the furniture is in tack.. I keep the sharp points tipped every two weeks & have a lot of scratching post around & it works very well.. I am sorry I got on my soap box = but that is how I feel about the matter.. Please No De-Clawing..
