just answer one question
Sorry but I do not feel this person is a troll. Not sure why.....
She is just asking a question about a sensitive subject. heres my question what is the moral difference between spaying an indoor cat and declawing? i dont see any difference spaying an indoor cat is unnecessary if there are no other cats in the house it is done to elimate the cats sex drive because that is inconvenient for the cat owner to deal with removing a cats sex organs is no better or worse than clipping off the last joints of their fingers Actually there several differences. Spaying a cat: You are Removing their ability to procreate and possibly add to the already excessive stray cat population. Doesn't matter if they are strictly indoor, all it takes is for the ONE time they get out. Can a person saw that they were able to keep their cat indoors at ALL times for a cat's entire lifespan? Just a thought.... Not to mention if the cat DOES get pregnant could medical complications occur during the gestation or birthing process You are also preventing the possibly occurrences of medical conditions, Possible infections of the urinary tract or vulva (slim but possible), or more severe cases such as pyometra, uterine or mammary cancer. ( spaying an indoor cat is an invasive operation with a painful recovery period Invasive, yes. Painful, I beg to differ. Depending on how the surgery is done, and what medications are given the recovery period can be less painful. Using a surgical laser to cauterize the blood vessels and nerve endings, using absorbable sutures and distributing pain medications will result in quicker recovery period as opposed to a scalpel blade, steel sutures and no medication. spaying an indoor cat sometimes results in bad outcomes Haven't seen any bad outcomes as the result of spaying since i've been in this field. and that goes for dogs AND cats. if you dont want to keep the cat the way god intended when there are other alternatives to spaying then maybe you shouldnt own a cat??? i could cite numerous other parallels between declawing and spaying an indoor cat to show that they are essentially morally equivalent Declawing you are removing the digits from the first knuckle. For this there IS a painful recovery period, much more than with a spay. Then if the cat does get out that one time, now he has less to defend himself with. There are some cases in which the cat adapts and accepts what has happened. But there are also cases in which there is a change in the cats personality. Spaying a cat is for the greater good of the cat from a medical standpoint. Declawing is done for the owner's benefit and I do not feel it does anything beneficial to the cat. You are entitled to your opinion and personally I'm not going to spend time trying to force you to change. I disagree with your statement that they are morally equivalent, but i'm not going to declare you are a bad person. I'm disappointed that you feel this way, but shouting at you via a newsgroup really doesn't solve anything. If this is what you want to do with your cat, then I hope your cat lives a long happy life and you manage to avoid the medical pitfalls. Kristi |

if you can do it without being nasty. im not the one creating
a problem here by asking a question. people who are intolerant are the ones who are creating a problem. people have said some very nasty things to me but im not attacking anyone or calling them names. heres my question what is the moral difference between spaying an indoor cat and declawing? i dont see any difference spaying an indoor cat is unnecessary if there are no other cats in the house it is done to elimate the cats sex drive because that is inconvenient for the cat owner to deal with removing a cats sex organs is no better or worse than clipping off the last joints of their fingers spaying an indoor cat is an invasive operation with a painful recovery period spaying an indoor cat sometimes results in bad outcomes if you dont want to keep the cat the way god intended when there are other alternatives to spaying then maybe you shouldnt own a cat??? i could cite numerous other parallels between declawing and spaying an indoor cat to show that they are essentially morally equivalent |

A cat going through heat and unable to satisfy it is *very* uncomfortable. In fact, a cat going through repeated heat periods, but who never mates, can develop health problems over time. Also, cats can be pretty stealthy and fast. Every time you go in and out your door, she has a chance to slip out, and it's quite possible that it will happen no matter how careful you are. When a cat is in heat, she is *very* determined to mate. So, despite your best intentions, you could end up with a pregnant cat. Would you be able to find homes for all the kittens? Maybe you would be. But remember that when you do find a home for a kitten, that's one less home available for cats and kittens in shelters - and one more who will end up euthanized. Every time a cat is allowed to get pregnant, the problem of unwanted cats becomes a little worse. it is done to elimate the cats sex drive because that is inconvenient for the cat owner to deal with Also because there is a vast overpopulation of cats, who are put to death by the thousands because there aren't enough homes for them. And if they're not caught and euthanized, then they live very hard lives on the street. They're domesticated animals, by which I mean they have been *bred* over thousands of years, to be dependent on humans. This is genetic. Domesticated cats might go "feral", but they never do as well for themselves as a wild animal who has all the genetic traits needed to survive in their environment. spaying an indoor cat is an invasive operation with a painful recovery period spaying an indoor cat sometimes results in bad outcomes So are many other procedures that are done for the sake of their health. One more thing to think about: a cat *needs* their claws to survive. You might not think a cat needs claws if they're indoor-only, but as I pointed out earlier, sometimes indoor-only cats get outside. A cat going outdoors needs their claws for self-defense. Not just for scratching other animals that might attack them. But for running up trees, to get away from dogs, mean kids, etc. Can you guarantee that your cat will never, ever get outside? This means you have to guarantee that your house will never catch fire, and in the chaos of everyone getting out of the house, your cat escapes. Can you guarantee that nobody will ever break into your home and leave the door open? Or that a houseguest will never unwittingly let her out? Once the cat gets outside, she is in danger if she doesn't have her most important defense. On the other hand, cats do not need their ability to reproduce in order to survive. If the species were endangered, then I'd say that the species as a whole needs fertile members. But cats, at least in the USA, are so very far from being an endangered species (except that individual members are greatly endangered by the fact of overpopulation). i could cite numerous other parallels between declawing and spaying an indoor cat to show that they are essentially morally equivalent And I hope you're rethinking that, given the information that I've just provided. Now I have a question for you: if you are so certain that they are morally equivalent, if you feel so sure that declawing is harmless and not immoral, then why are you having a hard time making up your mind about what to do?
