Many cat shows do not permit declawed cats, and most, if not all, will not allow a pedigree breed that has been declawed to show.
The Cat Fanciers' Association states that ALL cats, whether pedigree or Household cats, may NOT be declawed. All other cat shows associated with the CFA abide by these same rules.
Naturally, in countries where declawing is banned, do not allow any declawed cats.
The International Cat Association, however, do accept cats that have had their claws removed. This is one in a minority of cat associations that allow this.
Even though they do not have claws, declawed cats do catch mice. Cats have very strong paws, as well as sharp teeth.
Yes, some are and some are not. Depends on your cats personality or however you spell it. Also it depends on whether they are declawed or not.
Usually it is declawed cats who won't cover their waste because they don't like to dig much after they are declawed. It is also painful to a cat to declaw it. If your cat is not declawed, then maybe it was separated from it's mom at too young of an age to have learned to cover it's waste from her, or maybe the cat had a declawed mom.
Add on to question: This isn't an answer I am just adding to my question. I am giving my declawed cat to someone who has two cats that are not declawed and sometimes they leave their back door open and I am just worried about my cat getting outside and not coming back. What can I or they do so that she doesn't get outside? Answer: Currently, the only thing i can think of is to tell them to keep their back door closed.
It depends on a cat, it's age, weight and such. You always need to consult a vet before tranquilizing you cat or any other animal.
Cats aren't like dogs. They aren't needy or anything. Just give him food, water and toys and he should be happy.
I don't think you can declaw cats anymore. Cats have to be before heat, and can be done at 8 weeks minimum.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! They NEED their claws!

If you declawed your cat then you should find a way to play with your cat inside with a toy sort of like a dog but cats need more gentalness.
cats lick you to show they like you
