Vet Clinic refuses to declaw cats

[Catherine]

People could find ways to give cats something to scratch. Not all cats scratch the furniture. It would take a little effort to meet a cats needs, but not that much.

I think declawing is part of wanting to be in control. Instead of helping your cat to find the right place to scratch, you remove the claws so the cat has nothing to scratch with. It is an extreme solution to what should be a small issue.

Clipping claws is not that hard.

It sounds like Dushka had the ideal life. All your pets have had ideal lives. They have the love of a good home and the freedom to be themselves.
