New York State has just banned cat declawing. In fact it is the first American state to ban cat declawing.
Cat declawing is totally cruel. It involves amputating the end of each of the cats toes. The cat must still walk on those feet for the rest of its life. It is very painful and not necessary.

Good for New York. Now with New York as an example. we need to encourage other states and other countries to ban declawing as well. We also need vets around the world to refuse to do the procedure. Some day declawing will be a memory of something horrible we used to do to animals. Some day there will be no cats left with the side effects of declawing. I look forward to that day.
