Never.
Do your homework. Declawing = amputation. The toes are amputated and the cat must walk on bone. Felines frequently have bone fragments which require surgical repair later in life. AMPUTATION = Phantom pain.
Many cats react by not using their litterbox and then are dumped at shelters, or to fend defenseless in the wild.
If you must have a cat with no claws, save yourself a few hundred and adopt one already declawed from your lical humane groups Petfinder.com, and/or Pets.overstock.com.
Declawing is banned in 40+ countries, and a few US cities. North American vets continue to resist efforts by educated consumers to ban the lucrative industry started in the mid 1950's.
never never never declaw a cat. the surgery is equivalent to cutting off all your fingertips and toes at the last knuckle.
The pronunciation for "declaw" is typically dee-claw.
Take it to the vet for treatment.
I should imagine so, but it is advisable to get a veterinarian to neuter the cat.
You would probably have to have proof that you told her to declaw it or keep it in her room. (meaning it would either have to be recorded or in writing) You could probably A-Get a new roommate or B-Make her buy you a new chair/pay you for the one her cat destroyed.
Depends on the vet. Most vets will never do such a procedure unless there is a legitimate medical reason, such as an injury or infection. There is no reason to declaw a dog for being badly behaved, and the best way to stop the dog from digging and scratching is to train it into more desirable behavior.
it's about $100 where I live, just call the vet :D.
Yes. Any time any animal goes under for any type of surgery, there is a risk - Not to mention the bone and tendon damage done to the cat because of declawing.
Dogs need their claws and I highly doubt you would ever find a vet to declaw them. This is only done in cats.
1... Why do you 'own' a white tiger?2... De-anything a wild animal and you damage it irreparably. You change it's nature.
Dew, draw and drew end with w. Declaw and disallow are words that start with d and end with the letter w.
if it is an outdoor cat you shouldent declaw it because it will feel defenceless so it could be pretty important
