Declawing´s cruel and unnecessary, not only because lots of cats get infections or even a lethal sepsis from that surgery, cats don´t only need their claws to defend themselvs, also to mark their cat trees or other scratch furniture + to fix themselves on a cat bed etc.!!! Once I saw in the Blind Cat Rescue and Sanctuary Inc. ustream how the white Penny, a blind and deaf cat who´s been declawed long before the BCR gave her a forever loving home almost slipped from a cat bed because she couldn´t fix herself with her front paws there... So declawing really has to be banned in the whole USA once and for all NOW!!!
