Declawing
a cat is a cruel act. It's akin to cutting off our fingers at the last joint, leading to pain and mobility issues. It can even create a feeling of vulnerability or defenselessness in your pet. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, since scratching is an innate feline behavior, declawed cats can suffer emotional distress when they can't scratch. It's unrealistic and inappropriate to try to prevent your cat from engaging in this natural behavior.
