If you feel the need to declaw your cat, consider another pet.

What? Are you a vet now?
If you feel the need to troll, consider another forum.

It would not be the first groundbreaking stance taken by West Hollywood.

The city of just one square mile (2.6 square kilometers) and 3,500 residents was the first in the country to enact a program for domestic partners that, among other things, extended health insurance coverage to gay and lesbian partners of city employees. Officials say it was also the first to declare itself "pro-choice" on abortion.

So, its ok to suck the brains out of a live human being while they are in the womb, but it is not ok to declaw your cat. mmmkay.

Tragically sad, tragically true.

not only is it pretty painful for the cat, it also leaves them pretty much defenseless... my cat got pretty banged up the first week we got it from the animal shelter in a fight with the neighbor's cat because its previous owner had declawed it.

It's not a very nice thing to do to cats.

Quite often, when a cat is declawed, it just starts biting instead of scratching.

That may be true, but I have to see a cat hang from someones arm or chest by their teeth. I've know some little hellion cats that would literally bury their claws into your chest to the point where they could hang buy them. That's how one of the cats got the name Velcro.

I hated that little ball of fur. IF I was to have a cat(though it would never happen), I'd have the front paws declawed only. I'd have the back left in. The fronts are much more viscous.

What kind of cat did you have? :Q

I don't believe there are any abortion clinics in West Hollywood.
