I don't care how cruel you think it is. Declaw your fucking pets!

@dowodenum Outdoor is fine. Indoor cats on the other hand, they'll get over it. I can't tell you how many things I had that were destroyed because family members brought their pets when they came to visit.

I don’t think you understand how cruel it actually is. I’m personally against having any pets in general, since I think other beings shouldn’t be treated like toys for one’s amusement.

Tell your family members politely that you refuse to accommodate their pets. But in general, cats that I have seen when I visited others knew how to behave themselves.

I still live with my parents (just graduated college) so I have no say in the matter. But I'm definitely not allowing any pets once I get my own place. Despite my pfp, I've never really been an animal person.

They stop knowing how to behave when they are in other people's houses. If they are told not to jump onto tables, it's the tables that are in their homes and not your tables. They also instinctively mark their territory when they are in a new place and that includes scratching. I had to spray at my brother's cat and even then he thought that was cruel.

@xianc78 no
We had a cat for a while that had her front paw claws removed (before we got her) and even though it had been years since it happened you could tell that she didn't walk the same way, she couldn't jump with any confidence, she didn't seem very happy about it.

@xianc78 No. That's extremely abusive. Don't get a pet if you plan on torturing it.

@Alex I don't plan on getting one. I'm not an animal person.

It's better to not have pets if you can't take care of them properly, declawing isn't a proper way to take care of an animal.
