I took my 6 month old kitten in to the vet to get his nails trimmed. I have been taking him there because he doesn't cooperate with me yet to trim the nails and I don't want to risk hurting him. My vet told me I should get him front declawed. I told him I really didn't want to and I told him about how it could possibly change their behavior or they become mean, etc. He said that if the cat is going to become mean, then that is his personality and it has nothing to do with declawing.
I read on the home page today that article about the first hand witness to the declawing procedure and I was in tears. I certainly could not hurt my little baby. He likes to claw on my walls because I have wallpaper, but I certainly don't want to declaw for that reason. I have provided him with several posts, but I just need to be more patient.
I, like other people I'm sure used to think that declawing was standard just like the article said. After further educating myself, it makes me sick to even think about doing it.
Thanks for listening.
