Tora Oni,

To set the record straight, it ISN'T just like taking out their claws. It's chopping the first link of each digit off and making them walk on it. Try chopping your finger off at the first digit and walking around and see how it feels. I don't mean to be so blunt, but people need to know the facts. Some vets here in CT won't do it. Others do it because it brings in money. I suggest to everyone who is looking for a declawed cat, to find one who is already declawed.

Your cat is stunning. Glad he's okay. Some cats just never recover from it.
