Have the dog de-clawed. He can't dig with stubs.

People do that to cats all the time thereby saving their precious
furniture at the expense of the cat's primary defensive and
offensive weapon.

Bull****. A cat's primary weapon is it's rear claws. The fronts
are merely a warning of things to come.

Dogs don't use their claws/nails for anything except digging. No
harm there.

cruel is all i can say, you ever see what a animal goes thru after
being declawed?

Again, bull****. Our cats barely knew they were declawed. It was
dune at the same time as neutering. By the time the anesthetic
fully wore off they were running all over the house. No harm no
foul. If the cat is in serious pain after declawing you took them
to a butcher.

I never said anything about pain. Let me repeat. De-clawing a cat robs it of
its primary offensive and defensive weapon. It cannot navigate at speed
without claws (do you wonder why the Cheeta is the only cat with
non-retractable claws), it cannot climb, it cannot stand and fight while
maintaining the ability to retreat.

You're simply wrong. A cat's primary offensive and defensive
weapon is the *BACK* claws. They are far more powerful than the
fronts (no power in them at all). It takes power to run, climb and
fight. The fronts (and spitting/showing of the teeth) are merely a
warning to offenders.

You are the idiot. By the time most domestic cats resort to their back claws
they are already injured.

You've obviously never seen a cat fight. THe warning shots are
with the fronts. The killing is with the backs and teeth. There
simply isn't enough power in the front legs to do any real damage.

Because most cat fights are front end only a declawed cat usually get
scratched pretty good every time leading to infections a leading killer of
cats.

No, the leading killer of cats is tires, followed by disease.
Don't let your cats out and they'll live three times longer, on
average. They'll also not **** off the neighbors.

Another thing **** for brains.
Do you really want your cats ONLY defense against a toddler to be it's teeth
and BACK claws?

Well since my toddler is now 28... No, asshole for a mouth, the
cat's defense is to stay away from said toddler.

Are you really this callous?

Are you really this stupid, or did your mother think it becoming.
