Don't Declaw Your Cat 😰

[CandyXVI]

Declawing can cause behavior problems too. Without claws as a defense they can start biting. The litterbox can be very painful for their feet and they will stop using it. The behavior issues can lead to them being dumped at a shelter.

My parents neighbors threw out their elderly declawed cat. She couldn't use a litterbox, my parents kept her and had her use puppy pads instead. She was an angel, they gave her the best possible life. She didn't deserve what happened to her.

If you want a cat without claws, you don't want a cat

It also hurts the can mentally, because he cannot climb to escape and cannot protect himself!

My cat (sadly passed) was declawed. It wasn’t our decision as she was already declawed when we adopted her. As she got older we realized she was in pain from arthritis in her toes. Her paws sunk inwards and it became very hard for her to walk. After a year-ish of her pain she couldn’t make it to the litter box and we recently got a kitten around that time. As she couldn’t use her litter box she peed everywhere. After taking her to the vet on multiple occasions and giving her medication for the pain, nothing seemed to work well. The vet recommended we put her down. After a few weeks we made the decision to put her down. We all loved her greatly and she went down with her best friend. (My dad). She passed at age 16 and lived a long happy life. She is missed everyday. RIP Willow ❤

Wanting a cat without claws is like wanting a bird without wings

Unless its medically necessary, declawing cats should be illegal

Edit: its apparently illegal in some countries

The fact that people intentionally declaw their cats is just depressing

[Solar_Sunrayyy]

Declawing a cat, if it’s not for medical conditions, is animal abuse and I cannot be proven otherwise.

i would imagine this would be like getting your fingers removed by an alien for reasons you could never comprehend

[skyler_thepatato]

Thank you for sharing, lots of people do not think about the downsides of actually declawing your animal. This will help spread awareness to the people who don't bother doing research

Getting scratched by a cat is part of the experience

[russellsmith]

Had a vet "accidentally" declaw one of my cats. He lived the entire rest of his life in pain. It's beyond cruel to do this.

For every painful, swelled up, deep cut my kitten has inflicted on me, they all healed within a couple weeks. No permanent damage, no permanent disability. Can't say the same for a declawed cat.

I feel so sorry for all the fur babies that have go through this torture

[aoimelon]

That’s awful, I had no idea that the poor cats had to go through such horrible thing. I’m very grateful for this video.

I got my cat from a shelter over 15 years ago and told the volunteer that I was thinking of declawing my cat . She gave me this judgmental look that I’ll never forget and then explained the procedure to me. I’m grateful that she did. I’ve had multiple cats throughout the years and I’ve never gotten them declawed. I just bought a bunch of scratch posts.

Those who declawed their cats are just unwilling to regularly trim it, hence they are not a responsible pet owner
