I can't find that de-clawing thread anymore forgot to add... I went to the vet the other day to get pixie her 2nd set of shots and the vet remarked at her softpaws and said he thought they were stupid maybe I should .0cut 0 - haha thats from pixie... anyways cut his fingers off at the first knuckle and ask him if he thinks their stupid now... Sorry thats how I feel I know some people may have de-clawed their cats its just something I wouldn't do... Sorry if I offend anyone
