bluegrass, I'm not really sure what you are trying to say? You can decide if you want your tubes tied. Does a cat feel a lot of pain when they are declawed? People have to consider that.
"Does a cat feel pain if declawed"?
Do they feel a lot of pain when they are spayed?
So, they shouldn't be spayed then?
(using your statement)
If they are an inside cat, never get outside among other cats, why bother with spaying..it isn't realy necessary, eh?
The answer to both is most likely, but that is what the vet gives pain meds to them for..
If you ever had you appendix out, or a hysterectomy..I'm sure the day after and for a couple days there's residual pain as one recuperates.
Mt *point* was that I have had a cat that was declawed for many years..and, *as* I said..unlike Tictac claims...she has *plenty* of "confidence"...you should see her chase my dog up & down the hall..
My point was *also* (in referncing my tubal ligation) was that, as I *said*...there is a LOT of bad and misleading information out there on the internet regarding various surgeries, procedures, etc..
*I* certainly ran across a lot when I was doing the research for my surgery...and declawing is kind of the same things..there's a LOT of bad, wrong, and misleading information out there..
Notice how you never have people who HAVE declawed cats (meaning, declawed when they got them) speak up about how their cat seems just like any other cat that has claws...no personality issues, no "lacking confidence", none of that stuff..
Only people who are against it.
I fostered a few feral cats when I volunteered at the shelter, and let me tell you..*those* cats had WAY more "issues" than any declawed cat i have run across..
Now, if you have read this far,, do not misunderstand me and think i am in any way *promoting* declawing.
I am not.
But, if someone chooses to go that route, they should have good, factual information available to make an informed decision, not just people's opinions and hysteria...
