I think the biggest thing that repliers need to remember is that the cat IS NOT THEIR CAT and they cannot dictate to another person how the cat should be raised.
As a replier to the post, you can educate the person based on what you know, even if you're a vet or a vet tech or a receptionist for a vet. There are somethings that are cold hard facts, but you have to remember that 1) Not everyone can afford the high pricey natural cat food...just be happy their cat is being FED and 2) people are going to declaw their cats for as long as its legal (in the U.S). You can EDUCATE them on what happens when the cats are declawed (because most don't know), but don't flame them because you think its wrong and their being jerks just thinking about it.
