Pay it foward in response to this
People who want pets without claws should buy a goldfish. I would rather a cat spends more time in a shelter than have an unsuitable home. If the new owner can't be bothered training their cat, do they have time to ensure it's other needs are met.


That's saying my home is unsuitable for my cats which is an unfair statement. My cats are both very happy & not having claws hasn't changed there personalities, habbits or stretching ability. You'd rather a cat spend more time in a shelter & maybe have to be put down then for an owner who would love him/her & spoil it rotten but would have him/her declawed? My cats needs are more then met, believe me! I'm sorry but yes declawing a cat is painful but they still can have very happy lives! As I said in my early statement w/ my first cat I wasn't educated but w/ my 2nd I was. Yes it was a harder decision but now that it's done, I'm very happy w/ how both my kitties are happy.
