Who are you to say what I can and can’t do with my property? Cats are not persons. Get over it.
I’m over it already. It’s cruel to do. But I didn’t say I wanted a law. I think you misunderstood me. I’m about freedom. Cows probably think it’s cruel of us to milk them and eat them. I’m ok with that as well.
I would never declaw my indoor cat. She has destroyed nothing here. Last house we rented had some kitchen counter chairs with wicker seats. The two cats trashed them (by scratching and pulling the straw out) and I had to buy new for the owners. I choose no wicker or luxe drapery here, and the cat has stuff to scratch on. That’s how I personally handle this issue.
