Well seeing that it was at my parent's house and Thanksgiving, I just held
in most of what I wanted to say. I pretty much said that I would never
declaw a cat. I feel bad for the cat that is getting the surgery. I think in
some ways I let it be known to her that I am against declawing and that it
is cruel. You can't change someone's mind because those who declaw don't
want to hear the truth.

I would have opened the door and said have a good night cat abusers are
not welcome in my house
You have every right to make a scene I told my wife sister's off in
front of everyone so she would get the point of running her mouth has
after effects. Every one gave her hell for what she did she went home
early

At least you know how this people are and not to associate with them if
they are that way. People real faces always come out one way or another

Well the worst part about this was because it was Thanksgiving dinner you
can't make a scene. I was floored when she said she was taking their
newest cat to get declawed. When I asked why she would do it and that
declawing was wrong she didn't want to get into it. I got up and left and
pretty much have nothing to say to these people anymore.

I know this is a topic that keeps popping up over and over again but it
just goes to you that even during the holidays people still think about
declawing their cats. Tonight at Thanksgiving dinner I was shocked to
learn that a couple of guests (they are a married couple) who I had
known for years actually have their cats declawed because they don't
like their furniture being scratched up. When I started on the don't
declaw cat side, one of them said they didn't want to get into this
discussion.
I have discovered that those who have no problem with declawing a cat
never want to discuss it.

Honestly, I don't understand why people care about their furniture so
damn much. It's just stuff. I never buy expensive furniture so that
way I don't get upset if it gets ruined. If the cats scratch it or it
gets stained, hey, that's what slipcovers are for.
People want to stay uninformed so that way they don't have to feel
guilty. After I learned the truth about declawing, which I have to give
credit to this group for, I felt awful. I let Dash get declawed when I
was a teenager and I had no idea what it really was. I also blame vets
for not telling their clients the truth.
