Declawing Information

Please boycott all vet clinics that promote declawing. It's a barbaric practice that involves the removal of the entire first joint of the cat's paw. It is very painful for the cat, and is equivalent to humans losing their fingertips including nails from the entire first joint. Visit the websites below to get a full understanding of the horrific procedure and consequences.

Declawing: a Poem

This poem was in a old copy of the
Feline and Canine Friends, Inc. Newsletter
(Dedicated to Humane Treatment of Animals)

A cat who had a manicure,
That is, its claws removed,
Was brooding on the state of things,
With hopes they would improve.

No longer could it scratch the couch,
The rugs remain intact;
The furniture looked good for once,
The glasses all stayed stacked.

Each day dragged by, the cat was bored,
To motivate got tough.
Without my nails I'm half a cat,
I might as well be stuffed.

A though came to it with the dawn,
While it was still in bed;
A claw is fine but what the hell,
I'll use my teeth instead!
