How declawing saved my cat's life and gave him 6 more years (and counting)

In ,
Iso composed with style:

Just be happy that the cat isn't in a shelter waiting to find a
home, or on the street. Be happy the cat has a home. It's one less
cat everyone has to worry about being hit by a car, or even
euthanized. Deal with it.


Never. It is attitudes like yours that will make it harder to have
the mutilating procedure banned. Read some of the archives.
Diversion and training work.

So, for all you anti-declawers I would tell you to go get a life.


You would have done much better by adopting the intact cat out to a
friend with patience or a no-kill shelter.

In any case, nice bit of trolling.

Cheryl,



I'm not indicating I agree with the declawing procedure. I'm HAPPY that the
cat cannot be counted as another statistic in an already over crowed
shelter, waiting to be adopted in a city or town. I'm glad the cat has a
home, not a cage.

You took the cat under the condition that he be mutilated? That is pretty
cruel considering that you could have actually taken the time to teach the
cat on how to use a scratching post. I think it is you who should have been
declawed so you could have matched the lack of brain power and reasoning you
seem to have.

The cat was mom's and she died after a long illness. The cat had
clawed up a lot of furniture in the house and no one else wanted the
cat. The cat also had a skin condition which now necessitates a
depomedrol shot each month.


I took the cat on condition that it would be declawed so it wouldn't
tear my stuff up. The others involved didn't really want that to
happen but didn't want the alternative (euthanasia).


"Kitty kat" is very happy to still be alive and is actually doing
better now than when I got him six and a half years ago.

So, for all you anti-declawers I would tell you to go get a life.
