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.

Those who de-claw cats are evil and should be shunned by other species,
including humans. They are only one step above the scum that forms atop a
septic system in likeability, but even that is far, far higher than vets who
actually perform the procedure.

Declawed cats are not allowed outdoors (except by morons). Virtually all pet
advocacy groups recommend that cats NEVER be allowed to roam outdoors yet
millions of ignorant people do it and then wonder why fluffy doesn't come home
some night.
