Declawing is the process of amputating each toe's last bone. It would be similar to chopping off your fingers at the very root.

Paw pain, back pain, lameness, infection, and tissue necrosis (or death) can all result after declawing. The removal of claws can hurt, like wearing an unpleasant pair of shoes, because it alters how a cat's foot touches the ground.

Claws that are removed incorrectly may grow back, resulting in bone spurs and nerve injuries. Yet, this entitled mom went around looking for a declawed cat at shelters.

She was worried about the cat scratching her furniture, but then she realized it is typical for cats to scratch. It helps them establish territory, stretch their muscles, and shed the outer nail sheath from their claws.

Cats in the wild utilize their claws to protect themselves, grab prey, and get away from predators. That manifests itself at home as climbing on favorite perches and assaulting toys.

They may scent mark their area by scratching, which makes them feel safe and at home because their paws have scent glands. The OP and the mom worked as volunteers in a shelter, and she was the one the entitled mom met.

OP's mom told her that it is not safe for the cat and it is strongly recommended not to do that. Yet she went ahead to expose herself during the interview, and of course, her request to adopt was declined.

The OP does remember the interview process everyone had to go through to adopt a pet

It was kind of hidden away so the people who work there can train the cats

The Reddit post got hundreds of comments and here are a bunch of them below

Declawing a cat is a form of abuse

Okay so genuine question: why is it bad for them to adopt a declawed cat? If they were going to get a regular cat declawed or if they expected you to declaw them, sure. But if they aren't someone who would do that themselves I don't get what the problem is. Again, not defending the EP, I would actually like someone to point this out to me.

They have sophisticated the process

This Redditor doesn't know what kind of person would declaw a cat

They get to keep their claws and you keep your furniture

This Redditor sees no reason why they should declaw a cat

Sometimes, people choose to declaw their cat out of habit because it's been done this way for years and comes naturally to them. Some cat owners may also be concerned about their present declawed cats being in danger from a new cat that comes into the house with its claws intact.

Still, it's not good to declaw cats as you'll just make their lives unbearable. Leave your thoughts about this story below.
