Soledad, of course everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don't recall saying they were not. I think that is what choice is - an opinion taken into action, yes?

As I have said in earlier posts, I elect NOT to for my personal reasons and would not encourage anyone to do it. But it is still their choice - here in the states anyway.

As far as your opinion - yes I accept it and respect it. I think you may have misunderstood what I was trying to get out there, but maybe not. Maybe I just wasn't clear enough.

One thing I do know is that lots of folks here have had their cats declawed currently or in the past. I for one, will never ever declaw a cat, but I cannot speak for anyone else. I have had cats declawed in the past.

I respect your opinion.

In past posts I have offered unlimited advice about scratching posts, clipping nails - you name it and I have offered it. What more can I do. I will not condem someone for having the proceedure done to their cat.
