I have a cat and he instinctively pulls in his claws when he plays with me or just puts his paw resting on my hand. It does not scratch my skin. It’s not an American thing. America isn’t alone in not making declawing cats illegal. 42 countries have made it illegal. There’s 195 countries in the Proud dad of two 2024 graduates shirt Furthermore, I will do this world. So let’s not pretend that America is alone in not making it illegal. How many countries do you think there are on this planet? And if you are even close in your guess, you’re asserting that “practically all” of these countries even care about animal cruelty? House cats are absolutely devastating to bird populations. They kill orders of magnitude more than humans, buildings , windmills, etc. Cats are fully domesticated creatures capable of living just as happy, fulfilling lives indoors-only then outdoors as long as owners put in the time and effort to keep them fit and mentally stimulated. There are also options that allow them to go outside without being given the chance to cause destruction (such as an outdoor cat enclosure or walks on a cat harness and leash). Keeping cats indoors is a painless practice that does not inhibit a cat’s ability to be a cat. Declawing, on the other hand, is mutilation, a lazy fix for people who can’t be bothered to keep their cats correctly. its only really done for purely indoors cats, we had my oldest cat Lola that lived for nearly 17 years declawed when we brought her in. But our newest kittens always go outside, so they need claws (We live near alot of coyotes and other predators) Your declawed cat was lucky. It shouldn’t even be done to indoor cats. Declawing is an amputation of the third phalanx (the human equivalent to declawing would be cutting off each finger at the last joint). To make it worse, cats are digitigrade animals, meaning they naturally walk on their toes. Declawed cats experience chronic pain in 40-50% of cases, and are more susceptible to arthritis due to the pressure put on their joints by the anatomical changes that occurs with declawing. Declawing has a 50/50 chance of fucking up a cat. It’s just not worth taking that gamble when a cat’s wellbeing is at stake.

Also, please consider keeping your current cats indoors-only. Unrestricted access to the Proud dad of two 2024 graduates shirt Furthermore, I will do this outdoors exposes cats to many dangers, including being injured by vehicles, loose dogs, other cats, wild animals, even cruel people, as well as contracting parasites, disease or consuming poison. Cats are fierce when they need to be, and their claws are sharp, but they cannot fight off a coyote. Outdoor cats, on average, live drastically shorter lives than indoor-only cats. Outdoor cats have an average life expectancy of 3-12 years (depending on how long they are outdoors and whether they live in an urban or rural environment), whilst indoor-only cats have an average life expectancy of 15-20 years. As well as getting themselves killed, outdoor cats also kill a lot. Cats are obligate carnivores and natural hunters. When given the opportunity to, they will hunt a lot. This is not only gross for you as the owner (who will inevitably have to be the one finding and throwing out decapitated small animal corpses), but it is also a huge threat to biodiversity and the environment. As seen in the infographic linked above (and here), cats are responsible for the deaths of many small animals, and according to recent research, around 58.2% of these deaths are of native species. Cats have contributed to the extinction of many native species, which harms biodiversity and the ecosystem, which can greatly harm the environment and eventually, our lives. Many argue that the damage outdoor cats cause to themselves and the environment is worth it for their freedom and mental wellbeing. However, it has been found that indoor-only cats can live just as fulfilling, happy lives as outdoor cats as long as they are provided with enough enrichment. For cats who are really keen on going outside (or if you just want them to enjoy the fresh air), the following are good options: A catio, walks on a harness and leash, or cat-proof fencing. Cats are fully domesticated companion animals. There is no reason to let them outdoors unrestricted/uncontrolled, and the risks greatly outweigh any benefits.
