I disagree. Declawing a cat is cruel. A cat should be able to defend itself, especially if it spends time outdoors. If you are worried about the furniture, get a cat scratching post.
Three instances of cat people not getting the bad attempt at a joke. Sheesh dog people aren’t so sensitive. Oh but you can’t joke about pussies anymore especially if you grab one. Cats be mighty sensitive these days. Never eat at Panda Express as side note.
