I'm going to ask a question, and I don't want a ton of people yelling at me, just curious (I also think declawing is inhumane, as well as letting your cats outside-killing wildlife-) I have a very scientific mindset, and my question is... are there any studies that show a relationship between declawing and abrupt behavior changes? Like I said before, I'm against it, but I like to know if there's any evidence. Growing up I've met a lot of cats, many declawed and their owners never had problems, never actually heard of anyone having problems after the operation. I'm sure some cats do though, nothings perfect. It's just that everyone in their posts makes is sound like these problems are GUARANTEED with the territory. Can anybody lead me to research that has been done? Yep, I'm a nerd, I like to read biology books/journals in my free time!
