Yes, I’m sure the cats would rather not be fixed but, as has already been stated, certain procedures have a direct benefit to the cat’s welfare, whereas declawing does not.
A cat not being dropped off at the pound - for repeatedly destroying furniture - because it got declawed probably is better off than the cat that dies at the pound....
Jesus.. I just read that... I gotta quit trying to cook dinner and post at the same time...
Reiterate -
If you have a cat that repeatedly destroys expensive furniture - is the cat better off declawed, or taken to the pound - to take it' s chances on a person coming along who loves cats and hates furniture?
