Before the Tacoma City Council voted to ban cat declawing except when medically necessary, a leader said the time was right to "choose cats, not couches."
Our neighbour’s cat sometimes visits. His claws are so sharp we’ve been tempted to try clipping them. But we won’t because A: we’re not trained for it and B: not our cat (on paper)

Yeah and they basically break the shit out of their paws so the claws never grow back. It’s insane.
There’s laser methods I guess that are less painful, but still completely fuck with basal instincts of those poor kitties.
Declawing sounds more like amputating the tip of your fingers (which does sort of make sense if you think of human nails)
Yah basically! It’s super fucked up.
