Two of my cats
have been front-declaws (one was my decision back in '86, & the other
came
that way when I adopted her in '93) - w/ no resultant problems that I
can
tell. Although, I assume as w/ any surgery, there must *sometimes* be
adverse after-effects.


Alex, my aforementioned biter, came to me declawed. Guess how he
compensates for his lack of claws?

Otoh, my biter cat is Mr. Fully-Clawed (aka Herrie).
