Please watch this. It is 100% worth it. Many people think that declawing is “normal” & “safe” but really it’s NOT. Declawing is unfortunately currently supported by the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) so many people don’t listen to people who actually know what they are talking about. The AVMA claims that declawed cats will not develop behavior issues but this is a LIE. Declawed cats are more prone to quit using their litter boxes, biting, and disassociation issues.

People declaw cats for three main reasons. Scratching furniture, fear of trimming their nails, & they believe indoor cats don’t “need their claws”. I’m here to tell you these are all POOR excuses to declaw your cats. I have two cats and let me tell you something… SCRATCHING POSTS ARE CREATED FOR A REASON! My cats have a cat tree & two scratching posts. They NEVER touch the furniture or my carpet. I trim their nails myself, but did you know that PetSmart will trim their nails for you. Only $14. And indoor cats needs their claws just as much as an outdoor cat!

Declawing a cat is like cutting off their toes! It literally crippled them by changing their ability to walk properly.

Please, watch this movie. It’s SO worth learning what declawing is really about.
