dontcha think?

a little too ironic

It’s like skipping a show, when you’re part of the act..... isn’t it ironic.

There is just no non-shitty reason to be working with this washed up, volatile asshole.

Or, and hear me out, you have the option of NOT adopting a pet if that type of pet’s natural instincts are so abhorrent to you that you see the only solution is to mutilate them to make it possible to tolerate living with them.

Sound like you should never have cats.

Overall, it sounds you should get a dog, and not a cat.

And a cat usually doesn’t ‘decide’ to live with you. That was on you.

Geeez. Justifying amputation because cats should listen. 

The number of commenters here defending declawing is truly disturbing. Cats aren’t dogs, their needs are different. Although I wouldn’t trust you around dogs either. 

That sounds great in a vacuum, but when you’re dealing with people who think it’s God’s will that women should die of ectopic pregnancies instead getting an abortion or literal Nazis (or both!) it’s not possible for a neutral third party to exist.

Then don’t adopt a cat. Declawing is amputation. Would you amputate your own fingertips? Then don’t do it to a cat.

When the Presidency was Republican, Elon Musk did not endorse the Democratic Party. He did not advocate for the Democratic Party to curb the excesses of the Republicans. He has never been at all concerned with “balance” when the GOP was in power. Elon is a classic example of an “independent thinker” who thinks he is ma…

Yes, I wish simple trimming had been mentioned. Our very old cat has trouble fully retracting his claws, so he gets snagged just trying to walk across the bed. Once in a while I clip the sharp tips off with nail clippers. They make special clippers for pets, but regular human ones work fine for this, as well.

I have a cat that someone declawed and then abandoned before he came to me, and while I will say it’s nice that he doesn’t scratch the furniture, I would never declaw a cat myself.

You literally can’t be a trusted source of information if you have been selling yourself as the one who will bring “free speech” to Twitter. The right was furious that blatant lies and conspiracy theories were flagged or blocked on Twitter and FB. If you remove moderation, how can you be the most trusted source of…

He looks like a trout.

Declawing a cat cuts off part of their paw - to make sure the claw doesn’t grow back. This is the same thing as cutting off the tip of your finger to make sure you don’t regrow your fingernail. It’s not something you do to a beloved pet.

Double-sided tape on any surface you don’t want them scratching. They freaking hate the feel of the tape on their paws. Absolutely give them an alternative scratching surface - baited with catnip for extra encouragement - but deterring with double-sided tape works great.

If anyone can beat it, Johnny can!

Counter counter point: declawing does more than take away their defense system. Claws are an integral part of the cat’s foot and removing them is the same as taking the last joint off your fingers. Trimming an indoor cat’s claws is far healthier for them and has the same effect.
