[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 116689, member: 3647"] I'm going to oversimplify things. 20 years ago, nobody knew that it was bad to smoke around your kids. So everyone did it. 20 years ago, the solution to in tact furniture in the same house as a kitty was to declaw them. We grow and learn as a society. You get funny looks if you smoke around your kid now. Why? Because we know better. It is harmful. So is too much polution and too much waste. So we try to cut down. We know better about cat's claws. Claws and fingers are not separate features on a cat. It is very painful to a cat to have their fingertips amputated. Personalities and kitty litter aside, that's about as cruel in my humble opinion as clipping dog's ears and tails. There is an alternate way to care for a cat with claws, and that is to trim them. And for gosh sakes, the cat otherwise takes care of itself. Small price to pay for a happy cat. [/QUOTE]
