First and foremost, I do not believe in declawing cats. This question is not meant to start a discussion about declawing ethics.
With that in mind, here is my situation. About 3 years ago, Charlotte was found by my sister running the streets in her neighborhood. No one claimed her as their cat and eventually I adopted Charlotte. When Charlotte was found, she had already been 4-paw declawed. She tolerates my petting her but doesn't like to be overly pet so it's difficult to do a thorough examine on her.
Yesterday when I was playing with her, I noticed she has a claw on her right paw. Is it possible that her claw/nail grew back after being declawed or is it more likely that the vet (or whoever declawed her) missed a claw? I do not believe the claw is causing pain. It looks relatively normal and retracts like my other cat's claw. Should I be concerned?
Thanks
