Its far from harmless, and my SPCA won't allow such practices, period. Of course it affects a cat, and its painful as all hell.
surely it does affect the cat physically- it has no claws, and mentally i mean, imagine waking up and never having any nails type thing, but worse, cause you dont actually use your nails like cats do, to climb, and do whatever they do. they have them for a reason, its not something to take away.
it was done on my cat when only like what? 6 weeks
she dont have a damn clue she doesnt have her nails.
and we figure she dont need em, house cats dont really use there claws, its mainly for hunting and that is done outside, and she's scared to go outside, so we keep her indoors. in my house all she has to do is leap to get where she wants.
my cat at my dads however has his claws, but we clip those every few weeks.
sometimes we forget a when when he scratches it hurts like a @#$%*!
but we dont declaw him since he's to old and it would suck to be him if he got declawed at his age, plus hes an idoor/outdoor kitty, love to go outside but never wanders past the yard.
but note it is cruel if you declaw an outdoor cat, those claws are his only tools and defense against the outside world. sending out an outdoor cat without his claws is like a soldier without his rifle.
Cosmetic surgery on animals is complete bull****, no matter if its an indoor or outdoor animal. If people want to be ignorant, stupid and vain enough to pull that crap on themselves - where they get to make the choice themselves - fine. But to suffer an animal through that unnecessarily (and its never really necessary) is such crap. The **** we do to our animals is absolutely unbelievable. As I said before...if you can't keep an animal in the state it naturally is in, then don't get the ****ing animal.
hey man, the declawing wasnt my choice (im powerless and at the mercy of my mother when it comes to things like this, i didnt like the idea, but seeing as things are now its not all that bad.)
my cat was rescued, she was a 2-3 week old stray abandoned by her mother and lost for a day and a half, no food or water, all by herself. My aunt brought her to us from one of her friends. she was nothing but skin and bones, deyhdrated, fleas, tapeworm up the ***, diarhea and on the verge of death.
we took her to the vet to get her fixed up, partially, vaccinations, de-wormer, the works she was too young for advantage so the flea shampoo had to do for the next 3-4 weeks, but her diahrea didnt stop, and she couldnt figure out the litter box, had to clean her ass up literally several times a day and wipe down the floors
finally after some antibiotics, mineral clay and some box training she figured out the box and stopped ****ting on the floor. Her diarhea still continued, but later did we learn that her stomach wasnt agreeing with her diet, so we changed that and it stopped, when she was 6weeks we threw her on advantage , flea problem terminaated. then when she was 7-8 weeks we declawed her front paws.
Gradually she gained weight and her healthy back, till she started looknig like a kitten instead of a rat.
this free cat cost my mom 1000 bucks and me too much patience, but it was worth it.
so your telling me that she was better off dead from the start than be declawed so she wouldnt tear up the ****ing furniture because you think she suffers from it???
hmmmmmm suffer?
nope
, i dont see any suffering, thats the happiest cat if ive ever seen one 
even after the surgery, she still horsed around like a dumbass, without pain (painkillers), ill admit she was alittle high when we picked her up at the vet
dogs are much worse if you dont maintain them.
usually if a dog has been in you house you can TELL its been in the house.
not saying they stink, but they have that "odor"
i guess any animal is messy and stinks if you dont maintain them and enforce good behavior.
pigs dominate both cats and dogs
they dont stink, and they are faster more intelligent learners than dogs.
kind of messed up how they are slaughted by the hundreds of thousands every day.
ironic how we think than when philipinos eat dogs we think its wrong, since dogs are intelligent animal that have feelings, while WE in the us butcher an animal that is just as if not more than that of a dog.
