So it is ok to literally cut the balls off or surgically wreck the reproductive system of a cat... but not ok to remove it's claws. something only a feral cat needs.
what governs what is barbarous in your mind.. there doesn't seem to be a consistent standard.
idk about you I would rather have my finger nails removed than my balls cut off. In fact i personally incrementally remove portions of my fingernails on a very regular basis, yet have never removed any portion of my testicals. may even consider a surgery if I thought nail removal would be come a problem or difficult. (think feet problems with toe nails/people have them removed all the time)
