Re: Siamese for a Sunday Morning
This is one of the main reasons I am against declawing. Aside from the fact that it's painful for the cat, it causes psychological deficits. Cats depend on their claws for defense and to climb to get away from predators. I cannot believe his owners declawed him on all fours and then left him to wander the streets. Poor thing cannot even scratch himself. (I can't help much with scratching him, cause I bite my nails.)
Most of the cats in shelters that have spraying problems have been declawed. I'm not saying they all do, but when you have a multi-cat household, you run the risk of the declawed cat spraying to mark its territory.
There are SO many cases where the person will have the cat declawed to protect their furniture. Then the cats starts spraying and won't stop. No one will adopt a spraying cat, so it gets put down. It's very sad.
