Hi! I was just wondering if anyone knows if cats ACTUALLY bear weight on the part of their feet that get amputated when they are declawed. I know there are lots of reasons to not declaw your cat, and I'm very familiar with them, but I have read some articles that say cats don't actually bear weight on that specific bone that gets cut off and it does not hurt their walking... I tried to look up cat paw skeletons, but I have actually found some that show some weight borne on that bone and some that show that it doesn't. Is there anyone here who is particularly familiar with feline anatomy and can tell me -- Does a cat REALLY put weight on that bone when he or she walks or runs?
Ps I am not considering declawing my cats; I trying to talk my friend out of declawing hers. She's had cats before that were "just fine" after being declawed, so she thinks it's a fine idea.
