Apartment Complex *requiring* all cats be declawed - Help!

Katie is right. Get the media involved. Call every newspaper and tv station there is. If you have lived in the apartment for a while and already signed a lease that did NOT have a declawing clause in it, they have no case and you should be 'grandfathered' in. Get a lawyer. I'd do anything to protect my furbabies. And declawing is abuse.

Wow, that is news to me. I mean my parents pretty much set the rule that um Stormy was getting declawed no matter what I said. On upside to that which there really isn't much is its only is front claws and they knocked him out and such. We used newspaper for longer than the suggested amount of time b/c we didn't like the idea of adding more issues to that. So due to lack of knowledge I have now I would have told them I would have bought caps for his claws rather than that but I didn't make any money back then b/c I was too young. If I could had that choice I would have. So I seriously think that is a kinda of a unnecessary rule, considering their are claw caps that come a reasonable price and fits all diffrent sizes and comes in all sorts of covers on Drfostersmith.com. I still feel bad b/c Stormy is my first cat and somethings happen that are kinda out of my control since he was a stray that we found at the park.
