Declawing

Cats use their claws for hunting, playing, exercise, soft defense, and for getting from here to there. Have you ever actually OBSERVED a declawed cat in action? I have not, and I never will except maybe by chance. But I have this thing called COMMON SENSE Really? Your posts certainly do not display much of it! that trumps your claim to have a declawed cat and your superficial observations. Not "superficial" at all, since I have actually LIVED with a declawed cat, and you admit you have not! (Are you REALLY as ignorant as you make yourself appear to be?) Watching Cendrillon, you'd not realize she has no front claws. As more than a superficial observer, the difference would be obvious to me. I challenge you to prove it! She still has TOES, after all - The idea that a cat's toes are comparable to a cat's claws is just silly. However, if you knew as much as you think you do, you'd be aware that the declawing process involves amputation of the first joint of the cat's toes. (Ergo....) they only amputate the first joint in the declawing process. People might not be very happy to lose the first joints of their fingers, either, but as amputees, they'd adjust - their hands and the remains of the fingers (including the opposable thumb) would still be there. There is no comparison between a cat's claw and an individual joint of a human finger. Why not? Declawing a cat involves just that amputation? Cats do not use their joints to hang on to anything, (Rest of ignorant tirade snipped.) I don't believe in docking dogs' tails, either, but even tail-less they manage to "wag". And what the **** does a dog's tail have to do with a cat's claws? It's an integral part of the dog's anatomy, and equally necessary to it's total well-being. (Idiot!) |
