I am 110% against declawing our feline friends for all the regular reasons that most of us are aware of.
Recently I came across this article that *suggests* the stress of declawing may trigger the mutation of the corona virus that causes FIP.
I guess it's certainly in the realm of possibilites and I feel it's just one more reason (a deadly one) not to have your kitty declawed!
Here's a link to the article: http://www.shelterpetsink.com/FIP.htm
Fourth paragraph in the article mentions declawing as a "possible" enabler of the corona virus mutation.
