Not that hard to understand really. You're mutilating perfectly healthy organs that will produce a very clear observable change in the natural behavior of the animal, and it doesn't pass the "would you allow a parent to do it to their child" test.Originally Posted by Carolina
You are lucky you never had problems with your first cat. It is not because one didn't have a problem that all will not have it. Be ready for the spraying to start. Possible fights, aggression, darting to the door, and other problems.
Now.... May I ask you why exactly are you against neutering cats?
You'd never advise a woman to have a complete hysterectomy for example for birth control, and for males it'd be far less invasive to just do a vasectomy.
Personally, I like the behavior change and I know it improves the human/feline relationship and thus makes for a happier household for all, but thats why I am also not opposed to declawing for the same reason on cats whose destructive behavior can't be controlled by other means. What I find odd though are those that are huge advocates of complete sex organ removal, but crusade against and demonize declaws... its like... wait, what?
