    itt people who conflate declawing with trimming cat nails.

    trimming is necessary; not trimming a cat’s claws can result in cat injury as they can’t unhook themselves from carpets and furniture.

    have you ever seen a cat with long nails get up from threaded textures? they do NOT look happy.

      I’m kind of stunned by some of the responses. People seem to have no goddamn clue. (Internet, what did I expect?)

      Also you can have more rough time with them if they are young, and not injuring you or your guest if they panic for whatever reason(like loud noise), or decided to be an asshole to stranger in their space.
