Greetings. First off, I'll be straight with you. I de-clawed. Twice. Rossi was the first in my home, already de-clawed, and I was informed by others that I should have any other cats in the home de-clawed, to maintain a 'balance of power'. I had Bayliss and Sasha de-clawed. Prissi arrived in my life already a four-paw de-claw.
I want to be able to say that if I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't; but the fact is, I don't know how much credibility to pay this 'balance of power' theory, that the cats with the claws will rule the roost and dominate/potentially injure those that don't.
Can someone help with some evidence that mixing clawed and de-clawed is a safe and smart move? Thanks!
