Thread: cat scratch fever..

I probably wouldn't use them but I thought the picture of that cat is so adorable. I remember when I was little we used to have poodles and when my mother would take them to be groomed they always came home with bows on their fur and polish on their toenails. lol

Just to let you know what they do to declaw a cat. They put it under and take nail clippers and use them to cut the nails off the bone. They put in one stitch for each claw.I should know I use to work for a vet lol I have seen the done alot of times.It it is done wrong the cat will have problems with it feet for life.

I tried all of these suggestions and when they didn't work, my vet recommended declawing his front paws only. Jack hasn't had any problems and he had it done in 2002.

It may stop the cat from scratching but it could actually cause other behavioral problems. I don't know about anyone else but I would rather deal with some torn furniture than to deal with the smell of cat urine all through the house because it no longer wants to use it's litter box. I'm not saying that all cats that are declawed will stop using their litter box but I wouldn't want to take the chance.

I've had 2 cats that were declawed and never had any problems. I think all depends on the owner and what she wants to do. Talk to your vet and see what he/she recommends.

Thank-you everyone for the suggestions! I am going to think long and hard about getting Archie declawed now...

please don't declaw the kitty. I have a pair of kitty nail clippers i will raok you for your kitty. pm me

Maybe you could try the tips and see how that works. I was wondering what happens though when the claws grow. Wouldn't they pop right through the tip? lol
