Declawing is banned in 25 countries around the world so far: England, Scotland, Wales, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Slovenia, Portugal, Belgium, Spain, Brazil, Israel, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Yugoslavia.

The sole reason this procedure is banned in so many countries as it is deemed as unnecessarily and inhumane. In addition, several US states have now also banned declawing.

Can show cats be declawed?

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.

What are paw coverings for little cats?

Safe plastic nail caps are available for both cats and dogs in a variety of sizes and colors. Especially for cats, these covers offer a humane alternative to declawing. Using a small amount of adhesive, the nail caps are applied to cover the nail. This prevents pets claws from scratching furniture, floors, and people with sensitive skin. They are called SoftPaws and are available here: http://www.softpaws.org/
