declawing - a thanks to all those who opened my eyes
hi. i just wanted to say thanks to everyone for replying to my
previous posting. i am embarrassed to admit that i was essentially ignorant to all the information you guys gave me. i knew that people were opposed to declawing, but until now i didn't know why. you guys gave me more that enough reasons why. i'm happy i joined this group before i get my cat, because i never would have realized these things until it was already too late. it's scary how unaware most people (even cat owners) are about this topic - i'll be sure to spread the info. anyway, i don't want to ramble, just wanted to say thanks. - Rachel |

Thank YOU, Rachel, for researching declawing BEFORE doing it. Unfortunately, many people have no idea that it is actually the amputation of the end of each toe, and many vets do not tell people this.

What you have done is admirable -- you did your research, and you were open to advice. As a matter of fact, many of us have gone through the route you described. It is very common for a person to first start with the idea that declawing is "no big deal" because they think of a cat's claws like a human's fingernails. It is only as we learn more that we realize how wrong that is. Once we realize that declawing involves amputation, the hard truth sets in. Thanks so much for caring! MaryL |
