Scratching is a typical cat habit. It helps the cat stretch its muscles, shed the outer nail sheath from its claws, and mark territory.

Cats in the wild utilize their claws to hunt prey, protect themselves from predators, and flee from them. That translates into destroying toys and scaling beloved perches at home.

They scratch to spread their fragrance across their area thanks to the scent glands on their paws, which makes them feel safe and at home. Declawing may result in lameness, back pain, infection, tissue necrosis (death of tissue), and paw pain.

You see, cats do not consider right or wrong and they don't even understand what is morally right or wrong. Cats just consider what will satisfy their requirements and they do it.

The removal of claws can hurt, like wearing an unpleasant pair of shoes, because it alters how a cat's foot contacts the ground. Claws that are improperly removed might grow back, harming nerves and developing bone spurs.

Still, OP's future MIL went ahead to declaw her son's beloved cat, all because the cat was scratching a hole in her carpet. He was livid upon hearing the news, and the OP has never seen her fiance express real anger to his mom's face.

OP refers to her future MIL as a disjointed and scattered being who operates from another realm. She is constantly fabricating drama, calling the cops for ridiculous reasons, and trying to sue people.

Read the entire story as you keep scrolling down.

The OP pens down the story's title

Here's the cat tax

They were unable to close on the new house and start moving in until month end

She is addicted to shopping, constantly buying the most useless and excessive crap

She feeds the dog from the table, sleeps with it and basically treats it like a child

OP won't be surprised if the favor is thrown in their faces down the road

The OP is trying to be supportive of however her fiance choses to deal with it

"He loves that cat like a brother and it was really f*cked up what you did"

And here are the comments...

This is a relationship nuke for this Redditor

This redditor is raging in capital letters

ARE YOU KIDDING ME. HOW DARE SHE. SO LATE IN HIS LIFE!? HOW TRAUMATIC AND MUTILATED. I WOULDVE HAD HER ARRESTED AND CHARGED FOR ANIMAL ABUSE, SHESNOT ON THE CERTIFICATE! NEXT ID BE CALLING MY VET LIKE?????

I have no words. I would destroy this women. Be sure to stress to DF and JUSTNOMIL how irreversible and damaging this is to his cat. She hurt the thing he loves out of spite that is plain and clear

She is a persona non grata

She couldn't just let the OP leave

The OP should be there for them

Declawing a cat makes them more aggressive

When a cat feels the need to scratch, the question to ask is not "Where do humans prefer to scratch," but rather "Where do I prefer to scratch?" Redditors adviced the OP to take the cat to the vet and if there is anything she can do to make his life easier.

Not to forget to keep the cat away from her crazy future mother-in-law as well.
