Declawing is NOT cat friendly!!! It is inhumane,harmful,& wrong!!!??? "Surgical declawing is the removal of the nail at its base. This is done under general anesthesia and there is very little post-surgical discomfort, especially when it is performed on a kitten. Contrary to the belief of some, this surgery does not cause lameness or psychological damage. Actually, a declawed cat will not realize the claws are gone and will continue to "sharpen" the claws as normal without inflicting damage to your furniture. This surgery can be done as early as 12 weeks of age or anytime thereafter. It can also be done the same time as spaying or neutering. Once declawed, your cat should always live indoors since the ability to defend itself is compromised." ? This is what is written on the 2017 American Association. Of Feline Practitioners President, Dr. Lauren Demos', vet practice website. ?? The new president of AAFP works at a "Cat Friendly" clinic that can't seem to bring itself to tell us that declawing actually involves removing the bone! It also seems to go against AAFP guidelines, which clearly state that declawing should only be performed as a last resort. Instead, they are touting its merits in young kittens! This is why AAFP is no longer a leader in the movement to protect cats. They have made a choice to honor an outdated surgery that has no benefit to the patient, instead of speaking out on behalf of that patient. Shame on you, American Association of Furniture Protectors. You just proved you are the caboose of the animal welfare train!!! ? PLEASE SIGN MY PETITION TO INSPIRE THIS PRESIDENT OF AAFP TO STOP DECLAWING AT THEIR CAT FRIENDLY PRACTICES. You can google, "City the Kitty AAFP Petition" and find it. Also pls sign the petitions on the link here on my Instagram bio. ???????? #pawsneedclaws #stop #declawing #catvets #aafp
