Well then what is spay and neutering? Cutting a cat's belly open and pulling out it ovaries and uterous seems much riskier than using a laser to remove the claws yet the same people complaining about declawing are saying everyone should spay or neuter their pets.

I have a declawed cat, that I adopted (I only adopt) as such & I also have a cat that I chose to declaw for the safety of the declawed cat I owned. It became a concern when the declawed fella was being scratched and bullied.

They enjoy cat toys/posts, claws, the great outdoors, being neutered, organic meat, pure water and no toxic vaccines to give them cancer and other sicknesses later. They only go to the vet if they get sick because vets are trauma to a poor cat!
