Yeah and they basically break the shit out of their paws so the claws never grow back. It’s insane.
There’s laser methods I guess that are less painful, but still completely fuck with basal instincts of those poor kitties.
Who are the sick fucks declawing cats for therapy
The procedure can be medically necessary in certain cases, like when a cat has a cancerous tumor or has severely injured a paw. But Tacoma’s ban won’t interfere with surgeries like that, the council’s release said.
Maybe this is what they’re referencing
I was just riffing on the ambiguous article headline. Like it’s okay to declaw cats as long as it’s for therapeutic reasons (for the owner)
Therapeutic literally means “relating to the healing of disease” though.
Do you think therapy dogs are giving therapy to other dogs?
They do to cheetahs
Actually they do this, too!
Yeah my parents back in the days had a lot of cats, and one of them had to have the claws taken off one paw. 😢
I read that to mean “for feline medical reasons.” If kitty has some injury or illness of the paw that necessitates amputation, that’s a valid reason. To prevent scratching up the furniture is not.
I like to take the claws and put them in a furry gauntlet to use for… science.
Some people just don’t deserve cats.
Thank god this has fallen out of vogue. I remember when most cats I met as a child seemed to be declawed.
Once you learn what it is, it’s hard to condone.
I feel the same about tail and ear docking, though with certain dogs (boxers I hear get repeated tail injuries) it seems there are still some legit reasons.
If want a cat, it’s going to scratch, it’s their nature. Why would you want a cat if you don’t like basic cat behavior?
