@@onijaanjonu3367 well the fact of the matter is the video is not completely accurate. My cat only looked like she was in discomfort for a couple of hours. And besides it's just a cat my leather furniture cost more than the cat ever will and it lasts longer
Declawing can cause behavior problems too. Without claws as a defense they can start biting. The litterbox can be very painful for their feet and they will stop using it. The behavior issues can lead to them being dumped at a shelter. My parents neighbors threw out their elderly declawed cat. She couldn't use a litterbox, my parents kept her and had her use puppy pads instead. She was an angel, they gave her the best possible life. She didn't deserve what happened to her.
If you only give them a litter box, yes. Give them puppy pads like the comment you're replying to just said. You wouldn't want to walk on clumpy sand if your toes were cut off, would you?@@NorthGermanConf
Ppl mostly declaw for their furniture and things like that. For me, I have purchased scratching posts that wrap around the corners of furniture. There’s no excuse to amputate an animal.
@@lucyk2634 my family's cat was growing extra claws that would stab back into him and obviously caused a lot of issues. The only way to stop it was to declaw his front paws
For every painful, swelled up, deep cut my kitten has inflicted on me, they all healed within a couple weeks. No permanent damage, no permanent disability. Can't say the same for a declawed cat.
I got my cat from a shelter over 15 years ago and told the volunteer that I was thinking of declawing my cat . She gave me this judgmental look that I’ll never forget and then explained the procedure to me. I’m grateful that she did. I’ve had multiple cats throughout the years and I’ve never gotten them declawed. I just bought a bunch of scratch posts.
My cat isn't declawed and my relatives still bug me about it even though my cat is trained not to use her claws anywhere but on her scratching post. I hate it when they come over because they always make snide comments about how I should get her declawed because THEY don't like that she has them and won't go near her.
Their claws is literally one of the very few things that they can use to protect themselves. I cannot imagine how they would be able to survive not only without their owners but also their last tools of protection.
Try not letting them go outside where the danger is… or stop inviting all that danger in the house that they need protection from… I had a cat named Bootsie…. No claws… did NOT want to be inside EVER once she got a taste of the outside… she rarely left the yard but NO cat, bird, mouse or other rodent, insect or even dogs were safe from her… she was NOT playing if you came into her yard…. Sweet as pie… 22years she lived… I didn’t clip her, just so you know, she was rescued… pound-pooditat… she came clipped. Badassed kitty though… not a claw and nothing escaped her… she was afraid of NOTHING… soooo…. Yeah… she did juuuust fine.
its called being a house cat. so many dangers lurking in the home what ever will those cats do while sleeping on the windowseal. there are no dangers for house cats the only danger is your wooden chairs walls and furniture if u dont get your cat declawed using a laser its not anything like this video shows. ive seen hundreds of them and even did some myself. cat running around as soon as it wakes up. so much for learning to walk again.😊
Please don't do this!!! My neighbors cat had this done... He got in a fight with a stray cat and could not defend itself! Still traumatized from seeing that! Poor thing had to be put down.
The ONLY time you should declaw your cat is if it's for a valid medical condition, then you kinda have to. But if it's a healthy cat, there's ZERO valid reason to declaw them.
Thank you for sharing, lots of people do not think about the downsides of actually declawing your animal. This will help spread awareness to the people who don't bother doing research
This is horrible, thank you for sharing it in such a way, this actually shows the clear damage and discomfort this surgery causes, it’s disgusting, if you don’t want the claws don’t get the animal, good grief
When I was a little girl, I once went looking for a cat and saw a free cat post online . I begged my parents and we went to go pick her up. When I got her she was de-clawed but, it was only her front paws. On top of that, she was an outside cat before this.. I just thought because she was de-clawed it was too dangerous. One day she got out, and I was frantic when I heard a cat hissing and ran to the noise. I saw her use her front paws to balance and was using her back claws to defend herself. it was actually pretty amazing. I ran to them but she made it run off. I always think about that cat. Now I know this is what she went through.. that’s heartbreaking.
My cat is declawed too, but I was super little, so I couldn't control it. Plus, it's just her front paws. She's doing fine :)) I got death threats because of it tho
My cat was declawed on the front, and there’s no way this is how they did it, because she still grows a little nubby of a claw on a few of her toes, which wouldn’t be possible if they’d completely amputated the bone
The scratches I have from my cats are tokens of memories. They hurt at first, but the remaining scars will always fondly remind me of them. Declawing cats is ABUSE. Edit: to everyone calling me or cat people masochists, YOU'RE TAKING IT THE WRONG WAY 😭 I have 5 visible scratches (among countless others) on my body left behind by 4 cats on separate occasions BY ACCIDENT. One happened when I was a kid, while I tried to separate my cat from fighting the neighbors cat, and he struck my arm instead. I cried so much because the wound was deep, and I had to be taken to the ER. I was scared of my cat for awhile, but overtime, I just understood that having cats mean you have the chance of getting scratched. Was I angry at the cats? No, they're ACCIDENTS. Two of the cats that left visible scars have passed away, and that's why the scratches they left behind are now token of memories. So please, please just stop accusing me or other cat people as masochists 😭
@@yebm8692 It's like when dogs accidentally scratch your leg too hard when jumping on you. They don't mean to hurt you, so when it's on accident, it isn't really a big deal. Relax
@@roseblud995 The are here for our attention. Anyways, you may still need to trim them occasionally. Scratching posts don't always prevent claws from getting too long, especially with indoor cats.
Declawing should be banned. How cruel are the cat owners?! Edit:some(many) countrys authority has baned ths kind of oppresion. Again edit:tnx for 10k likes❤
Cat scratches are love marks to me. If you love your cat like I love mine then embrace the scratches. Just remember to get vaccinated for rabies if yours was a stray cat
I just rescued a cat who was declawed. A 6,000$ purebred Bengal btw. Appearantly the girl could afford him as well as the declawing, but couldn't afford a place to live or the 160$ a month arthritis shots he now needs. He's only 3 and has arthritis in his hips, is underweight and had a severe fungal infection in both ears. Please don't get a cat if you aren't willing to take care of them or put up with the bad parts of owning a cat, and always have at least 1,000$ on hand for emergency medical expenses
Omg that poor kitty. Unbelievable! I learned the hard way about not having enough money saved for emergencies when I had my 2 cats in the past.....they both got sick with tumors. I wasn't aware of the tumors until they lost half their weight. Plus, they were seniors, 18 & 16 yrs old. It was too late to get them surgery. I still miss them every day 🥺
both of my cats are declawed and I have never seen visible walking issues or pain. they have also been declawed since they were kittens, they are 4 years old now. edit- I forgot to add the fact that they have their back nails still.
@@JhonsonMoore-fb9zp bro... I didn't declaw them my grandma did and try having two cats climb your legs and no matter how many times you tried to teach them not to they never listen
One of my relatives' cat was formerly abused, and she retaliated by scratching. They unfortunately managed to get her declawed so they could further abuse her so she retaliated by biting. They abandoned her when they moved. She was left alone in the streets with no way of defending herself. She was rescued by my relatives, who gave her a much better life❤
My parents gave my cats away while I was at work because I refused to have them declawed, first time in my life at 16 i physically fought my dad when I found out. I drove from shelter to shelter and called everywhere and never found them. I was stupid, I was so mad I drove to all these random nearby shelters but I never made it to the right one that day. I finally decided they needed to be in a loving home and not declawed. I hope they lived a happy life with claws.
This may seem insensitive or whatever to you but your parents are sick Forcibly giving away the cat over you not wanting it declawed is sickening and it just goes to show how much they really care about a pet and both YOUR and your pets feelings They are failures as parents I have less than no respect for them
@@nomercy411thats a nail trim, usually unnecessary for cats because they scratch on posts(or furniture, i guess) A declaw is what's described in the video-amputation of the first knuckle

@@nomercy411 You're mixing things up. You're talking about a trim. Declawing literally means what's shown in the video. If you don't believe me: Google "declaw" and see for yourself. The video isn't misleading at all.
I regret declawing my cat so much. I was a kid and my family didn't know how bad it actually is for them. We have never done it sense, but I still wish I could go back and prevent it from happening. I'm glad it's becoming less of a norm
Exactly! And a cat bite is WAY WORSE than a cat scratch! Even if the bite is shallow and the scratch is deep! Cat bites are (almost) always deeper than they seem, and you need to _thoroughly_ wash the wound to even help prevent infection. It's honestly best to go to an Urgent Care if you're bitten by a cat.
@@InfiniVideosYou realize this video is misleading right? Declawing cats the correct way doesn’t hurt them at all, Its just that our vets are complete garbage nowadays and mess it up. I’m against declawing cats but you should also be informed when talking about this stuff.
May I ask why people declaw their cats ? When I heard about the term "declaw", I thought it was just cutting their nails (which sometimes necessary buy many people in my country including me don't do it since it's taking away their ability to hunt and protect themselves. Even tho house cat don't need to hunt for food anymore, sometimes they just want to hunt). But cutting their claws completely like this seems too cruel.
@user-bd9jm4vd1t generally it's because cats do things like claw up furniture if you don't provide them with something like a scratching post. my parents had one of our cats declawed after he took a swipe at me for messing with his tail and he left me with a pretty good gash on my face (which i absolutely deserved) it's a lazy "solution" to normal cat behaviors used by people who don't understand their pets and don't feel like caring for them properly. there are some medical conditions that might require declawing for the sake of saving the cat, but bearing in mind that you're permanently disabling your cat by doing it i still get the ick. personally, depending on how old your cat is, i think prolonging their life that way can be incredibly inhumane.
@@liamsweeney1620 A lot of cats still use furniture even if there is a scratching post. Most people who declaw their cats tried scratching posts. But that's still no reason to declaw your cat!! If you get a cat, you should be aware that the cat might scratch some of your stuff.
Declaring your cat is like removing the tires from your car, except if it could feel pain and fear. Claws is how they climb, run, hunt and defend themselves. It's like if someone chopped off your fingers and toes. The fact that it's not outlawed is wild to me
@@idunno3302🚨🚨crazy cat hater alert crazy cat hater alert🚨🚨 Claws are the best part of a cat also if you declaw your cat then just remember what if someone removed your feet and fingers yeah that's the thing cats experience only amputees know their pain completely
@@koopaking1959 I don’t own a pet, because I understand I don’t have the means to look after one at this point in my life. When I’m older, settled down and confident I can put my time and attention to a pet, then I’ll get one. But at this point in my life, I need to keep my focus on myself.
My poor senior cat got her front paws declawed by her previous owners, a young couple. The boyfriend set the condition of "if you want a cat, it needs to be declawed", then once the girlfriend became pregnant, he told her to get rid of it. I think she was around a year old when we rescued her. She is almost 18 years old now and unfortunately does have mobility issues, but we make it as easy as possible for her 🥺 i still hate her previous owners for what they did to my precious baby, but I'm grateful they gave her up so soon into her life, otherwise she wouldn't have had such an amazing life with us ❤ Don't de-claw your cats, guys. How would you like it if the tips of your fingers and toes were amputated without your consent because you made too much of a mess, or were too loud because you're a professional upstairs neighbor?
Kitty Softpaws taught me that declawing is Evil unless absolutely necessary. Not saying that's the only reason I think its wrong, but she solidified it.
There are people sex trafficking underage girls and boys, people being systematically killed for their sexual orientation or religious affiliation. But we need to allocate resources to sending people to jail for this, and how many other things you don’t like? How about educate people to not be savages?
My cat came to me declawed after he was dumped at a shelter for behavioral issues. Nobody would adopt him because he was so angry. He's learned to trust me and give better indication that he's irritated instead of going straight to biting hard and kicking with his back claws. I know his feet always hurt, it's why he lays on his back to get preasure off them, instead of tucking his paws under him like normal. He'll ask for my assistance if he needs down from something high, before he jumps, because the impact is painful. He also struggles with weight problems from laziness due to pain and not wanting to be active, let alone that he can not ever go outside and feel grass on his little deformed paws. If you don't respect or understand cats, that's fine, don't have one as a pet!! There is no law stating that you have to own a cat. So why put one through this just so you feel comfortable owning it? Just leave them be!! This is beyond cruel and I have 0 respect for any human who subjects their cat to this torture or a veterinarian who offers this procedure. Shameful!!!
Im glad you two got together. He clearly needed you. I try not to 'hate'. Sometimes it's a natural response to the absolute selfish nature of humans. We can be so cruel. Thankfully, on the flip side, we can also be kind. So thankyou. I 'LOVE' the fact you two got together.
My mom's toes went necrotic during a heart related medical crisis. This happened because of a lack of blood flow in her extremities' capillaries; basically the same thing as losing your toes to frostbite. I cannot convey nor fully imagine just how tortuous living without toes is for her. There is pain with every step. Our feet, as well as cat paws, have developed with the need for toes as part of the design. Removing the bones and thus severing the tendons creates so many mechanical issues that radiate up from the feet, into the knees, hips, and back. For many injuries, our bodies can eventually adapt, but without toes, there isn't some other part of the foot or leg that can compensate. Declawing creates a permanent disability for the cat. So let's get the word out to our friends and family! This video is wonderfully apt and the more people that know the facts, the less likely an owner will choose such a drastic option for their kitties. 🤍🧡🩶🤎🖤🤎🩶🧡🤍
Over 25 years ago I had my cat declawed. We were told it was safe and not harmful to her. She lived for 17 years and I loved her every day. I apologized to her before and after she died when I learned what they actually did to her. I have a 3 year old now who I've known since he was born. He isn't declawed of course, and we take good care of his claws, skin and fur. He eats the best food we can buy. Judging others and condemning them for what they do in ignorance is probably not a good way to live.
@@solidsnxYes a lot of people don't realize what declawing actually is. The name is very deceptive, it's really amputation. Good for you for learning better and doing right by your new cat 😺
I got my sweet calico cat at a shelter she was already 2 years old. When we met her she instantly had a bond with my family, sadly the previous owner had declawed her and abandoned her at the shelter. Sometimes i wish i knew how her previous owners were to her.
It’s crazy how they will get rid of a cat they declaw. If this was only temporary, why didn’t they just adopt a declawed cat and ruin the life of another?
Stop being so sad. I have two cats both declawed and they are healthy and happy. They do not have balance issues because they jump on everything. If you don’t go to some chop shop it should be fine.
@@GW42329did you have them declawed or did you adopt them and their previous abuser did? Because that’s what it is. It’s abuse. If you don’t want your furniture potentially scratched then don’t get a fucking cat because it’s literally in their NATURE to scratch. Don’t abuse animals because you can’t take proper care of them.
I work at a vet clinic and we do not offer declawing. We have had a few people ask. I had one client I was working with ask and I explained that we can trim nails regularly or even place Kitty caps if she really wanted. She kept saying how she wished she could declaw her cat cause he kept scratching her roommate. I told her about the declawing process, what it is, what it means and entails, the extremely long healing process, arthritis, associated mobility issues, and the chronic pain as well as behavioral issues (her cat is not scratching someone for the fun of it, he has a lot of energy and not enough outlet). She said she knows but still regrets not getting him declawed when he was little cause she just loves him so much she can’t have him scratching people but can’t give him up. She’s a nice lady and I’ve seen how much she absolutely loves this cat so this took me completely for a loop. I just don’t think she fully comprehend the absolute pain her beloved cat would be in. She was still by far the easiest ‘no declawing’ conversation I’ve ever had. She thankfully agreed to regular nail trims.
obviousky u never heard of using a laser instead of a scalpel blade. ive seen 100s of them done while working in vet clinics and the cats running around after sx. yeah u use guillotines thrn its much more dramatic even the scalpel is worst but with the laser u literally trace around the claw while stepping on the pedal and without removjng the entire toe u simply remove the nail from cats toe and leave saidntoe behind. its not the year 2000 anymore things have changed. u use the same laser machine u use for other sx and a hemostat and some skin glue. anesthesia wears off cats trying to run across the room. literally never seen a single laser declaw come back with any coomplications or inability to walk like normal a week later.
Yeah I really don’t think this whole “gentle parenting” approach is the way to go for that conversation. You should just ask them how they’d feel about having their fingers cut off and then explain that declawing is basically the same thing.
@@heyjohnson5535it’s not about all the health complications it’s about the fact that these cats are being deprived of one of the most important parts of their body just to make a humans life slightly more convenient. I really hope you’re not a vet or something like your comment suggests.
@@kaywire6099 It was a calm but firm conversation more so that she didn’t feel judged cause we want her to keep bribing her cat to see a vet in general. We don’t wanna scare people away
Getting your cat declawed is the equivalent of having a doctor chop off your fingertips. The above isn't a good analogy. It's actually more like getting your fingers and toes surgically removed because you kept biting your nails. Also please stop fighting.
I trim my cats nails if they get too long but I would never get my cats declawed. It’s torture and I wouldn’t put my babies that I care so much for through that kind of pain and agony. Unless medically necessary never get your cat declawed.
Thank god this is being talked about. I had adopted a older male cat who was left behind to fend for himself, he had no claws and he arthritis but now he's living the best life possible
I have a cat. He often claws the fuck out of our furniture. Will I declaw him? No. As long as the furniture's usable, there isn't an issue. And if it isn't, it's replaceable, my cat isn't. Owners, don't declaw your cat, they may resent you for it.
Please don’t listen to her. She doesn’t understand, it’s better then for her not to come. Please don’t declaw your cat, they feel pain too just like us. Hopefully one day she will accept otherwise it’s her choice
@lizatolbert9162 please don't declaw your cat because declaring a cat is almost like putting of half of your finger which is compared scientifically and it's very painful plus expensive more than keeping them without declawing because you have to get them arthritis shots oftenly and as you can see the nightmare for the cat in the video

If you think about it, declawing cats is like getting ride of you fingers and toes, I'm glad it's illegal in some countries, it's technically animal cruelty to declaw a cat. Plus it's just nature, if you don't like it, don't get a cat, get a calm dog or a bunny or sm.
I hate it when people are like " I declawed him because I don't want him to scratch me" if you don't want your cat to scratch you WHY EVEN GET ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE!?
... your cat won't even scratch you unless you're abusing it... or it's a complete accident, which is very infrequent.... That's such a stupid reason 😂
Zack, as a cat rescuer who desperately tries to educate humans with a 20 IQ who have cats, i want to absolutely thank you for this video!!!! It's not easy trying to get facts through thick skulls and this video should help those who cannot fathom this barbaric cruelty. I will be showing and sharing this across all my forms of social media, you have no idea how much you just helped a very underpopulated community of people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And that's what claw caps are for! A trained groomer can put claw caps on a cat after trimming the nails, which covers the claws, keeping them dull, but doesn't outright remove them. My mother often did as part of her pet grooming work.
It hurts my heart when I think about declawed cats 💔 when I first got my kittens I’ve trained them to not scratch the furniture, fast forward 5 years and they still never scratched our furniture. If people learn how to train their cats properly there won’t be a need for declawing. I also have velvet furniture and it seems that cats don’t like this material to file their nails. I buy them plenty of scratch pads and they also have an old chair I got for free from marketplace that they can use to scratch. No need to mutilate them 😫💔
Its the famous: "I want a pet without the pet consequences" "NEGLIGENCE" is whats called. GET A TALKING PLUSHIE! Animals are real beings, like children!!! Imagine if your parents decided after having you that the baby cries too MUCH and put you on drugs to sleep all day and night... They would be arrested for negligence!
I knew for 4 cats that were declawed all of which never got to experience whats mentionned in the video. Very happy to see you all the time, very social and docile. On the other hand, the 3 cats who still had their claws that I knew where anti-social jerks who kept clawing and bitting people. 😒
@@maximedamour5192because we want to ignore statistics and science because we happen to have some anecdotal evidence. Then there’s the error margin as well that you may not know how a normal cat would react etc. which is surprisingly common I’ve found.
that's literally removing the fingers people don't realize, but the paws of digitigrade animals are just their fingers, they basically walk on tiptoes without them, they're basically walking with the "front" of their foot. you can surely tell how unconfortable it would be
I have 7 cats. None of them are declawed or even trimmed nails ,you just need to convey the msg that u don't like your furniture scratched, give them something to scratch, and they are such nice creatures
fr! people also act like they can’t be trained, which is CRAZY! playing with them actively instead of passively also helps a lot. i love my puppers, but my cat and i have a uniquely stronger emotional connection
This isn't always doable. I've had many cats that will never use claws on your stuff. But some also insist they are going to do what they want no matter what you do to show them this is not acceptable behavior. So honestly for some who wants a cat and has this problem you might have to bring them back and try a different one. Become some will have a desire to claw things and some don't.
My cat had to be declawed like 5 years ago (My parents did that btw) and she thankfully isn’t in any pain today, and walks perfectly fine, good thing they only did her front claws.
@Riley-f6k you wouldnt leave a cat alone with a 2 year old the kid doesnt know how to treat a cat if the kid presures the cat too much the cat will resort to scratching
@Riley-f6kthey’re not deranged just Malicious and selfish who leaves a two year old with a cat like that and if he’s a danger than get rid of it. Your parents just ended up torturing the poor animal. Disgusting
@Riley-f6k “a bit of pain” you mean his toes literally being cut off. Idk why you feel the need to defend your parents, just say “yes it was inhumane and i don’t agree with it”. You didn’t need to share the story but you did, accept the fact that ppl might not agree with you defending your parents or just delete the comment lol
If it's for looks on a regular house dog, then yeah it should be banned. However having the ears or tail docked can save the life of a livestock guardian dog when it's performing its duties. Predators, like wild canines, like to grab onto the ears and tail which leaves terrible injuries. If I remember correctly, a predator can scalp a dog by ripping their ears off. I do agree that it feels barbaric to us who have only had house pets, but it's nessisarry out in the country.
Cats also scratch as a form of stress relief, exercise, and marking territory. To declaw them is to rob them of those pleasures. Most people are simply ignorant of this. I’ve found that once people are educated on the horrors of declawing cats, and they realize it’s not good for them, most people change. People love their pets, I don’t think most people are trying to hurt their animals on purpose.
@@timdec5488 it entirely robs them of this function. There are no claws to scratch with. No satisfying grip and tug on the material, no gripping to enhance the stretch they get in their front legs while scratching vertically. They continue to do the motion because scratching is a natural and instinctive behavior for them. Without claws, this behavior goes unrewarded by all the good feelings they get from the behavior of scratching. A cat cannot scratch if it does not have claws; therefore, the function is entirely lost as a result of declawing. 👍
@@ilikefood420 you said it’s a form of stress relief, exercise, and marking territory. All that is accomplished without the claw being present. The nail itself has little to do with the act.
Declawing a cat should be considered as illegal unless if there's a medical reason to declaw. Imagine a person without nails and fingers, that's the equivalent of declawing a cat. I have a cat of mine and he was pretty playful. Society was just ruined by some people. Anyways screw society nowadays. Anyway i guess people should think trimming their cat's nails regularly instead of doing cruelty.
I can't accept their reasoning which is they might scratch things. Like, train your cat to not do that. If they can't afford to do that, they shouldn't have cats. No one force them to raise cats.
I mean, if that helps you sleep at night. But let's be realistic here, that ain't a thing. Regardless, declawing is a sad reality. People worried about cat claws damaging furniture should just not get a cat in the first place. But then again, most of them generally lack common sense.
Yeah fr, like just let the cat have claws. And if a cat just happens to scratch you, wash the scratch! I don’t know why people would declaw their cats.
We declawed my cats but they have back claws just not front they are inside cats and we declaw them because the scratch everyone and the couch and we didn’t want to keep blankets on it

Declawing can cause behavior problems too. Without claws as a defense they can start biting. The litterbox can be very painful for their feet and they will stop using it. The behavior issues can lead to them being dumped at a shelter.
My parents neighbors threw out their elderly declawed cat. She couldn't use a litterbox, my parents kept her and had her use puppy pads instead. She was an angel, they gave her the best possible life. She didn't deserve what happened to her.

I got my cat from a shelter over 15 years ago and told the volunteer that I was thinking of declawing my cat . She gave me this judgmental look that I’ll never forget and then explained the procedure to me. I’m grateful that she did. I’ve had multiple cats throughout the years and I’ve never gotten them declawed. I just bought a bunch of scratch posts.
I’m glad you were willing to learn and make the correct choice
My cat isn't declawed and my relatives still bug me about it even though my cat is trained not to use her claws anywhere but on her scratching post. I hate it when they come over because they always make snide comments about how I should get her declawed because THEY don't like that she has them and won't go near her.

Try not letting them go outside where the danger is… or stop inviting all that danger in the house that they need protection from… I had a cat named Bootsie…. No claws… did NOT want to be inside EVER once she got a taste of the outside… she rarely left the yard but NO cat, bird, mouse or other rodent, insect or even dogs were safe from her… she was NOT playing if you came into her yard…. Sweet as pie… 22years she lived… I didn’t clip her, just so you know, she was rescued… pound-pooditat… she came clipped. Badassed kitty though… not a claw and nothing escaped her… she was afraid of NOTHING… soooo…. Yeah… she did juuuust fine.
its called being a house cat. so many dangers lurking in the home what ever will those cats do while sleeping on the windowseal. there are no dangers for house cats the only danger is your wooden chairs walls and furniture if u dont get your cat declawed using a laser its not anything like this video shows. ive seen hundreds of them and even did some myself. cat running around as soon as it wakes up. so much for learning to walk again.😊

When I was a little girl, I once went looking for a cat and saw a free cat post online . I begged my parents and we went to go pick her up. When I got her she was de-clawed but, it was only her front paws. On top of that, she was an outside cat before this.. I just thought because she was de-clawed it was too dangerous.
One day she got out, and I was frantic when I heard a cat hissing and ran to the noise. I saw her use her front paws to balance and was using her back claws to defend herself. it was actually pretty amazing. I ran to them but she made it run off. I always think about that cat. Now I know this is what she went through.. that’s heartbreaking.
My cat is declawed too, but I was super little, so I couldn't control it. Plus, it's just her front paws. She's doing fine :)) I got death threats because of it tho

The scratches I have from my cats are tokens of memories. They hurt at first, but the remaining scars will always fondly remind me of them. Declawing cats is ABUSE.
Edit: to everyone calling me or cat people masochists, YOU'RE TAKING IT THE WRONG WAY 😭
I have 5 visible scratches (among countless others) on my body left behind by 4 cats on separate occasions BY ACCIDENT. One happened when I was a kid, while I tried to separate my cat from fighting the neighbors cat, and he struck my arm instead. I cried so much because the wound was deep, and I had to be taken to the ER. I was scared of my cat for awhile, but overtime, I just understood that having cats mean you have the chance of getting scratched. Was I angry at the cats? No, they're ACCIDENTS.
Two of the cats that left visible scars have passed away, and that's why the scratches they left behind are now token of memories. So please, please just stop accusing me or other cat people as masochists 😭

Yup. Many people do not understand differences in anatomy between humans and cats. Human nails are not fused with bone.

Exactly! And a cat bite is WAY WORSE than a cat scratch! Even if the bite is shallow and the scratch is deep!
Cat bites are (almost) always deeper than they seem, and you need to _thoroughly_ wash the wound to even help prevent infection.

May I ask why people declaw their cats ? When I heard about the term "declaw", I thought it was just cutting their nails (which sometimes necessary buy many people in my country including me don't do it since it's taking away their ability to hunt and protect themselves. Even tho house cat don't need to hunt for food anymore, sometimes they just want to hunt). But cutting their claws completely like this seems too cruel.
@@NettyFelixThey do it because the cats will claw furniture and ruin it, for some reason they don't know what a cat scratching post is.
@user-bd9jm4vd1t generally it's because cats do things like claw up furniture if you don't provide them with something like a scratching post. my parents had one of our cats declawed after he took a swipe at me for messing with his tail and he left me with a pretty good gash on my face (which i absolutely deserved) it's a lazy "solution" to normal cat behaviors used by people who don't understand their pets and don't feel like caring for them properly. there are some medical conditions that might require declawing for the sake of saving the cat, but bearing in mind that you're permanently disabling your cat by doing it i still get the ick. personally, depending on how old your cat is, i think prolonging their life that way can be incredibly inhumane.
@@liamsweeney1620 A lot of cats still use furniture even if there is a scratching post.

I am 100% sure your house smells like a barn.
My poor senior cat got her front paws declawed by her previous owners, a young couple. The boyfriend set the condition of "if you want a cat, it needs to be declawed", then once the girlfriend became pregnant, he told her to get rid of it. I think she was around a year old when we rescued her.

Don't de-claw your cats, guys. How would you like it if the tips of your fingers and toes were amputated without your consent because you made too much of a mess, or were too loud because you're a professional upstairs neighbor?

My cat came to me declawed after he was dumped at a shelter for behavioral issues. Nobody would adopt him because he was so angry. He's learned to trust me and give better indication that he's irritated instead of going straight to biting hard and kicking with his back claws. I know his feet always hurt, it's why he lays on his back to get preasure off them, instead of tucking his paws under him like normal. He'll ask for my assistance if he needs down from something high, before he jumps, because the impact is painful. He also struggles with weight problems from laziness due to pain and not wanting to be active, let alone that he can not ever go outside and feel grass on his little deformed paws. If you don't respect or understand cats, that's fine, don't have one as a pet!! There is no law stating that you have to own a cat. So why put one through this just so you feel comfortable owning it?

@@saanasalonen8684 that's absolutely true 🩵💜
My poor baby was already declawed when we adopted her :(((( she's 14 now and still healthy but I know she struggles with balance and jumping
My mom's toes went necrotic during a heart related medical crisis. This happened because of a lack of blood flow in her extremities' capillaries; basically the same thing as losing your toes to frostbite.
I cannot convey nor fully imagine just how tortuous living without toes is for her. There is pain with every step. Our feet, as well as cat paws, have developed with the need for toes as part of the design. Removing the bones and thus severing the tendons creates so many mechanical issues that radiate up from the feet, into the knees, hips, and back.
For many injuries, our bodies can eventually adapt, but without toes, there isn't some other part of the foot or leg that can compensate.
Declawing creates a permanent disability for the cat. So let's get the word out to our friends and family! This video is wonderfully apt and the more people that know the facts, the less likely an owner will choose such a drastic option for their kitties.

I told her about the declawing process, what it is, what it means and entails, the extremely long healing process, arthritis, associated mobility issues, and the chronic pain as well as behavioral issues (her cat is not scratching someone for the fun of it, he has a lot of energy and not enough outlet). She said she knows but still regrets not getting him declawed when he was little cause she just loves him so much she can’t have him scratching people but can’t give him up. She’s a nice lady and I’ve seen how much she absolutely loves this cat so this took me completely for a loop. I just don’t think she fully comprehend the absolute pain her beloved cat would be in. She was still by far the easiest ‘no declawing’ conversation I’ve ever had. She thankfully agreed to regular nail trims.
Good on you for both refusing to offer it, and politely explaining why! We need more people like you
obviousky u never heard of using a laser instead of a scalpel blade. ive seen 100s of them done while working in vet clinics and the cats running around after sx. yeah u use guillotines thrn its much more dramatic even the scalpel is worst but with the laser u literally trace around the claw while stepping on the pedal and without removjng the entire toe u simply remove the nail from cats toe and leave saidntoe behind. its not the year 2000 anymore things have changed. u use the same laser machine u use for other sx and a hemostat and some skin glue. anesthesia wears off cats trying to run across the room. literally never seen a single laser declaw come back with any coomplications or inability to walk like normal a week later.
Yeah I really don’t think this whole “gentle parenting” approach is the way to go for that conversation. You should just ask them how they’d feel about having their fingers cut off and then explain that declawing is basically the same thing.
@@heyjohnson5535it’s not about all the health complications it’s about the fact that these cats are being deprived of one of the most important parts of their body just to make a humans life slightly more convenient. I really hope you’re not a vet or something like your comment suggests.
@@kaywire6099 It was a calm but firm conversation more so that she didn’t feel judged cause we want her to keep bribing her cat to see a vet in general. We don’t wanna scare people away

Getting your cat declawed is the equivalent of having a doctor chop off your fingertips.
The above isn't a good analogy. It's actually more like getting your fingers and toes surgically removed because you kept biting your nails.

And that's what claw caps are for! A trained groomer can put claw caps on a cat after trimming the nails, which covers the claws, keeping them dull, but doesn't outright remove them. My mother often did as part of her pet grooming work.
Oh, awesome!
My cat got a cuticle infection from this. Don't recommend
@Crispytuba328 that sounds like whoever did it messed up then. That never occurred to any cat my mother worked on. She's even done it to cats she owns
It hurts my heart when I think about declawed cats 💔 when I first got my kittens I’ve trained them to not scratch the furniture, fast forward 5 years and they still never scratched our furniture. If people learn how to train their cats properly there won’t be a need for declawing. I also have velvet furniture and it seems that cats don’t like this material to file their nails. I buy them plenty of scratch pads and they also have an old chair I got for free from marketplace that they can use to scratch. No need to mutilate them 😫💔
You don’t even need to be a groomer- my mom has about 3 kits at home for any strays I find on the farm!

that's literally removing the fingers
people don't realize, but the paws of digitigrade animals are just their fingers, they basically walk on tiptoes
without them, they're basically walking with the "front" of their foot. you can surely tell how unconfortable it would be
Declawing a cat is like asking a person if they’d like the ends of their fingers cut off. They’d obviously say no when it’s them T__T
But it's done under anaesthesia
Also imagine all scratches that we won't have to endure, that's a pain too

Declawing your cat is illegal here in germany and counts under animal cruelty.

fr! people also act like they can’t be trained, which is CRAZY!
playing with them actively instead of passively also helps a lot.

I trim my cat's nails because they constantly get on top of me and it hurts. If i let it get bigger it may actually cut me. No declawing though.
@@saturnsudityeah, trimming your cats nails are completely fine, in fact its recommended that you regularly trim them
This isn't always doable. I've had many cats that will never use claws on your stuff. But some also insist they are going to do what they want no matter what you do to show them this is not acceptable behavior. So honestly for some who wants a cat and has this problem you might have to bring them back and try a different one. Become some will have a desire to claw things and some don't.
trimming your cats nails could be actually helpful,my cats nail got stuck on his paw because it was too long

Can we also talk about tail docking and ear cropping too!!!❤❤❤❤
If it's for looks on a regular house dog, then yeah it should be banned. However having the ears or tail docked can save the life of a livestock guardian dog when it's performing its duties. Predators, like wild canines, like to grab onto the ears and tail which leaves terrible injuries. If I remember correctly, a predator can scalp a dog by ripping their ears off. I do agree that it feels barbaric to us who have only had house pets, but it's nessisarry out in the country.
Cats also scratch as a form of stress relief, exercise, and marking territory. To declaw them is to rob them of those pleasures. Most people are simply ignorant of this. I’ve found that once people are educated on the horrors of declawing cats, and they realize it’s not good for them, most people change. People love their pets, I don’t think most people are trying to hurt their animals on purpose.
Declawed cats still “scratch” as if they have claws. This doesn’t rob them of this function.
@@timdec5488 it entirely robs them of this function. There are no claws to scratch with. No satisfying grip and tug on the material, no gripping to enhance the stretch they get in their front legs while scratching vertically. They continue to do the motion because scratching is a natural and instinctive behavior for them. Without claws, this behavior goes unrewarded by all the good feelings they get from the behavior of scratching. A cat cannot scratch if it does not have claws; therefore, the function is entirely lost as a result of declawing. 👍
@@ilikefood420 you said it’s a form of stress relief, exercise, and marking territory. All that is accomplished without the claw being present. The nail itself has little to do with the act.
@@timdec5488 the nail itself has everything to do with the act of scratching 😂 a cat cannot scratch if they’re missing their nails!
@@ilikefood420 yes. That is the point. Have you ever observed a declawed cat?
Declawing a cat should be considered as illegal unless if there's a medical reason to declaw. Imagine a person without nails and fingers, that's the equivalent of declawing a cat. I have a cat of mine and he was pretty playful. Society was just ruined by some people. Anyways screw society nowadays.
Anyway i guess people should think trimming their cat's nails regularly instead of doing cruelty.
Whoever declaws their cat should be in jail for animal cruelty
