There are long term psychological and physical damages to declawing and pulling all teeth. I think if a cat is suffering and there is nothing to be done then it should be put to sleep.Peanut: I believe a cat feels safe and secure when she is at home with her "Mom." Do you propose "cat psychotherapy" for her if the meds do not work????? The human needs protection just as the cat does. In this case the owner is looking out for her cat and I believe she deserves to be a "cat Mom" , but she does not deserve to be bitten and I know only too well how painful a cat bite is. The cat also deserves to be with someone who loves her and will take great care of her, and if she suffers very short-term for a general picture of years of mutual happiness, and there is no other way to achieve that, it's definitely a solution to biting, clawing, or hurting her Mom in any way and we already know that her Mom wants the best for her kitty so I am sure she will make the decision she feels best about, whatever that may be. Everyone is entitled to her opinion but the Cat Mom will make the decision and Karen, I am happy to talk with you which is how this began, but I am no longer checking the other updates on this site (about this subject) after today since there is nothing else to say about it to anyone else.
I deeply hope that they can find a medical solution here that does not involve putting a bandaid in the form of mutilation on this poor cat.
