Caryl Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 My daughter Kelly used to live in Detroit. She said the majority of cats there were de-clawed and kept inside because the wildlife, like racoons, attacked them, not the other way around. If a cat is kept inside from birth and knows no other life, it will probably be perfectly happy kept indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgustipated Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 it is illegal to de-claw a cat ignoranus old me thought that "declawing" was just clipping claws. looking into it, i see why it is banned, they remove the piece of bone that the claw grows from, taking a chunk of their foot pad with it. takes weeks for cat to recover, often they never fully recover, behaviour changes are common. i have seen harmless animal claw trimmers on tv. would trimmed and blunted claws help reduce the number of skitz's victims? might have to see it in action to find out.

Ira Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 would trimmed and blunted claws help reduce the number of skitz's victims? If your goal is to minimize the number of animals they kill? Perhaps marginally because more would slip out of their grasp. But to be really effective you'd also have to trim their teeth. Most of the time declawing is done more to protect furniture from them sharpening their claws. In which case trimming is again not particularly effective because many cats react to having their claws trimmed with a flurry of claw sharpening,frequently on furniture.

Sophia Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Bells and less sharp claws usually just teach a cat to be more clever about hunting, I've never seen either working well. The only foolproof solution is to keep the cat inside all of it's life or not have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 He is just so restrained this lad. Walked past a lady in the wharehouse in a cat costume a few days ago. She had a sign on the front saying "help us desex stray cats". I thought a lot but did not utter a sound---promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
