Thanks again everyone for your comments, I just read them again and wanted to thank you for your ideas, opinions and support.

I knew you would all understand what I was feeling.

The worst part was/is the emphasis they place on declawing. It shouldn't be something standard...which it is there. That, and the lack of education/options given to the clients of these poor cats.

We had a lady bring her cat in for a declaw because "the Soft Paws kept coming off" Hello??? Do YOUR nails grow? Do YOUR nails break???? People are so stupid.... But then, at least she tried, so I guess I can't be too mad...its more than most the others even think about.

I think I'm going to stay there. I can deal with it. I think it'll charge my desire to get it outlawed...

Shhhh....don't tell my employer!!! ha ha
