Declawing: glad I took the time
Well, I posted here many months ago regarding a stray that we decided
to spay and keep. She turned into a beautiful cat with a nice shiny coat. She's still outside, and she sleeps on the deck in a nice little shingled house that I built for her. She's a good mouser, and we live next to a cornfield, o she get alot of hunting in. People keep telling me I should just make the leap and bring her into the house. I had always just assumed that declawing was a "normal" part of owning an indoor cat. I'm glad a sifted through the many posts and opinions. I didn't realize that so many people consider it to be a horrible mutilation. I was also interested to read the data regarding the effect on behavior (soiling, etc.) Now I'm not sure what to do. I absolutely will not tolerate destruction of our carpet or furniture. We already raised two babies that vomited on or marked with markers everything we own. We finally have a nice house now, and I won't stand by and watch a cat shred it. Should we try to find her another home? We tried before, and failed. |
