Last night I went to the petstore because I needed a bigger aquarium for my fish and walmart didnt have one I wanted, so the petstore was my last resort. I was debating on which aquarium to get and finally picked out one and a small bag of rocks for my goldfish(Tigger about took Kittys life so until further notice Kitty is in the witness protection program in our basement computer room) I went to pay for my stuff so I could get home and set the new place up for my fish. The cashier(owners soon to be DIL) starts a conversation that went something like this:
cashier "how are your cats?"
Me "they are all doing great"
Cashier"Have you had your himalayan declawed yet?"
Me "no...they need their claws and I wouldnt put them through that painful process just for my own benefit..they have nothing to gain from it other then behavioral issues"
Cashier "We just had our cat declawed shes doing great nothing seems to be wrong with her other then it is harder for her to walk."
Me "Well I better get home now"
Cashier "Its a very painless process really all they do is split the pad and remove the claw and sew the pad back up no trouble at all for the cat and you dont have your furniture ruined or get scratched It was well worth it"
At that point my phone rang*thank God* I walked out without another word!I was furious
and that poor cat
