Declawing is radical surgery that involves amputating the first joint of a cat's toes. To remove a cat's claws worse than to deprive humans of their fingernails. If the cat accidentally gets out, it is defensless against other cats and dogs. Changes in behavior can occur. The act of climbing up into a chair may be difficult and hazardous. The operation eliminates the cat's ability to hunt. Could you imagine a poor declawing cat that tries to catch a bird without his claws? Giving your cat a scratching post and keeping his claws clipped can avoid scratches to humans. Remember! A declawed cat is a mutilated cat!
