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.

Do cats like citrus smells?

Citrus is an acid. Ever wondered why snorting sherbert gives you a bleeding nose (just on the off chance you ever tried it)? It hurts and irritates, and cats are so much more sensitive in terms of the senses (except for taste, apparently). So they get much more annoyed when they smell it, and hence don't like it at all.

Why do cats scratch?

Answer:Cats scratch for many reasons. A cat scratches a scratching post in order to stretch the muscles in their legs, back, shoulders, and paws. They also scratch to 'sharpen' their claws (this actually rubs the old outer layers of claw that have become rough and blunt. Cats claws have layers to them, somewhat like an onion has). Cats also have scent glands in their paws, so another theory cats scratch in order to leave a "message" in order to communicate with other cats.Every cat owner has seen or heard their cat scratching and kicking litter in the litter tray. Cats, even wild cats, are very careful to bury their waste in order to hide the smell. This limits the chance of being caught by a predator or other hostile animal.Answer:Cats scratch because it is an inherent behavior. It stimulates the muscles and nerves in their back, shoulders and legs. A cat will scratch to maintain muscle tone and to keep their claws sharp. Make them a cat stand covered with carpet and they won't scratch on the furniture. It's wrong to declaw a cat. They use their claws to grab and play with things, climb, hunt prey and defend themselves.If your talking about your cat scratching the furniture, it's because it want to leave it scent there and tell other cats it's, it's territory.Human can't smell the scent but cats can.
