Some vets won't declaw cats because it is considered costmetic and not nessacary and it is an invasive surgery. |

im not gonna debate it but spaying & neutered is for health reasons declawing is just cause someone wont train the cat cut your knuckles off let me know if it hurts JMO |
I would rather see a cat declawed then end up at a shelter. my cat was declawed and she did fine with it. I wouldnt own a cat that wasnt declawed |

They don't cut the knuckles off they pull the nail out. It is done under anestheia and the cat doesn't feel the pain. It may be painful after the surgurey but usually it is in any surgury including spaying and neutering. |

sorry I am sorry. I misread your post. Just read the body aand not the title. i sure hope no one bashes you over the decision to rehome the cats. it's weird how all the "passionate yorkie lovers" are now defending the cats and sounds like a lot of them would let the yorkies go first. hummmmmmm |

Before you make the decision to declaw your cat, there are some important facts you should know. Declawing is not like a manicure. It is serious surgery. Your cat's claw is not a toenail. It is actually closely adhered to the bone. So closely adhered that to remove the claw, the last bone of your the cat's claw has to be removed. Declawing is actually an amputation of the last joint of your cat's "toes". When you envision that, it becomes clear why declawing is not a humane act. It is a painful surgery, with a painful recovery period. And remember that during the time of recuperation from the surgery your cat would still have to use its feet to walk, jump, and scratch in its litter box regardless of the pain it is experiencing. |
Cats well question is it a 2 story home?? Cats upstairs and pups downstairs. my own mind. I wouldn't get rid of the cats I've had and taken reponsablity of regardless they were x roomies. I'm sorry you've had them for three years. and how long did you live with rommie??? I'm not a cat person,my husband is and if I said Oh Well BooBooKitty and Spaz {and he is} has to go cause they hiss and swat at the noisy pups. He'd shoot me. I'd might my self. the kitties here live upstairs{two bedrooms,bathroom,and my computer room.} and the puppies have the masterbedroom,livingroom,bathroom,kitchen,laundry room and fenced back porch. downstairs. and all vists upstairs to the computer room are watched over. Have we had fights {cats erus pups} yup hiss and swat and I end it fast. period. Get rid of them NO! declaw them! NO if a cat gets out of the house by accident it has no other way to fight or flee without the claws. Sorry not an option here either. There's ways around keeping them. after all they were there first. My own thoughts and I'm sticking to them. |
Wishing you good luck in which ever direction you go. We have 4 barn cats who are feral -- we adoped them from an organization here that traps domestic cats that have been abandoned and return to the wild state. This organization sterilizes them gives them shots and then releases the cats back into the wild. My cats ARE NOT pets, they are working barn cats. Funny thing, they don't like humans touching them, BUT any time Boo the Boxer is at the barn or one of the Yorkies makes a "break for it" they will rub and love all over them. The point of this post is.....:confused: :eek: I don't know. SENDING YOU HUGE :ghug:. I know you love your cats and you are torn. I would imagine your heart is breaking..... |

I am trying to rehome a yorkie now that is not getting along with my cocker. I had the cocker first and it is unfair to get rid of the animal you had first just because a cute little yorkie has come into it's home. Yes, I understand the fact that the last bone has to be cut off too. I know alot about declawing cats....I've had several cats done. I find it wrong to have an animal for several years and then decide to get rid of it because something else better came along. Cats can be trained and just seems like to me that someone is using this as an excuse to get rid of the cats. In this case the cats probably deserve a better home. Good luck in finding them great homes. It more than likely will be hard to keep them together though. |
I did have a housecat declawed many years ago. I was ignorant about declawing and the vet DID NOT inform me of the seriousness of the surgery. The poor kitty was in terrible pain for WEEKS. |
Lett go the yorkie. I don't think anyone's saying that. Quote:
It's just not right or fair to rehome something cause it's now inconvent to have it. It's like getting rid of your white dog cause now you've got black furniture . and the hairs show up. Not flaming or trying too. but I've helped in a shelter near here and 90% of our adult cats here are put down. cause not many want an adult cat. but kittens fly oout the door. but come 6 months to 2 years later here comes kitty. it sucks. |
"There's ways around keeping them. after all they were there first." They were only there first because they were left at Karma's house. She could have gotten rid of them when the roommmate left. I bet she's sorry she even started this post but she did ask for suggestions and she got a lot of opinions. Whatever happens, she's the one that has to live with it. I don't think you're a terrible person and you have to do what's best for you. |
