Hello,

My cat is continually scratching my neighbours cars - they have caught him
scratching up and down the wings, and on the bonnet. They have been decent
enough about it, but patience only lasts for so long!

My question is, is it legal or ethical or possible to get a cat's claws
clipped/removed/something else to avoid my cat doing this? He is a domestic
tom, aged 2 years.

Thanks,
D.



It might be legal for vets to remove claws in US, but it certainly isn't
ethical. It is mutilating the cat.
A better solution for you - and certainly for the cat! - might be to
stop it from getting to your neighbours' cars. Is it possible for you to
fence in your garden somehow? Here is how we have fenced in our garden:

You say he is a tom - does this mean he is not neutered? Neutering him
might help keeping him closer to your home.
