every single time someone starts a thread about declawing, everyone on here gets mad standing up for what they think is right... is anyone else getting sick of all the arguing(about everything) no? well i guess i've got something to say then too...
half(including myself) is thinking 'what is the big deal?', the other half the people say 'declawing is wrong, the owners are cruel, they dont care about their cats, their selfish'
now dont post a whole bunch of articles for me to read about declawing... i have read the thousand other declaw threads on here and read the websites about declawing and next time i get a cat, i will probably have it declawed... and i know about the alternatives and i know about scratching posts.. blah blah, read it all before
by the way, whose cat told them that declawing hurts their paws forever afterwards.... maybe for a couple of weeks, a month afterwards.... have you ever had surgery, yea, it hurts, till it heals.... then i think they really dont care... i have never seen a cat who acted like they were in any form of pain from declawing(after the given healing time)... if you have.. tell me i am wrong...
okay
now, for all the people who declaw, i think only a small amount will ever 'swtich over' and become anti-declaw.... so what is the point in allllllwwwaaaayyyys talking about it... there is always going to be someone against it and always someone for it....
and i breifly read something about banning delcawing in the u.s. i dont see that happening(although anything is possible), out of the thousands of cat owners that i have met, i have met two families(my husbands and a girlfriends from high school) who didnt declaw their cats
and i dont think we should worry about banning declawing in any country right now, we should worry about banning talking about it on TCS... because everytime, it turns into a big, international argument!
adeus!
