My childhood cat was declawed because back then "declaw and spay" was the norm. She did have issues with inappropriate peeing and she would lash out and threaten to bite.
I hope you haven't been overwhelmed with responses. Have you made a decision?Alright I already have the information I need. Please lock the thread.
Would it help your mom to understand another point of view by having her look at the links that Mani provided?BTW my mom is now also my landlord and is saying I should get Indy declawed because she scratched the carpet.
I am really hesitant about it but mom won't be talked out of it.
