I was just wondering but is de-clawing cats particular to the US? I live in
the UK and until I subscribed to this newsgroup, I didn't even know that you
COULD have your cat de-clawed! Needless to say, I am totally against the
idea but I have never heard of anyone here who has ever come across a
de-clawed cat.

Yes, I would say that declawing is primarily a U.S. and Canadian thing, rarely
done in other countries.
