    Default New York totally bans Cat Declawing

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/cat-d...b0e3e3df14ab28

    FINALLY! There really isn't any reason to declaw a cat. I just taught mine not to scratch unless it's play, buy him a bunch of scratching posts.

    Damn I was hoping this was about banning that Uncanny Valley freakfest known as the CGI movie "Cats."

    The previews are fucking nightmare fuel.

    Protip- there are essential oils and cayenne pepper powders you can put on items/furniture to prevent cat clawing. (Basically Mittens gets a noseful of chili powder and quits fucking with your furniture.)

    That's a good tip.

    Also, putting up those pole scratchers in front of the sofa helps too. Scratch there instead.

    I didn't even know cat declawing was a thing until I moved away from my part of the west coast. I had to have someone explain to me exactly what it was. It seems like an inhumane, shitty thing to do to a cat.

    Mine have lots of things to scratch on. Another simple solution would be to not buy nice furniture.

    I would also propose that anyone who performs this mutilation have the human equivalent done to them.

    I just saw the preview and I was shocked to see the CGI. The characters just look wrong, but I absolutely love Cats so I'm looking forward to it anyway. Me and my sister can sing every song. I can still remember details of when parents took us the stage show when we were kids.

    Anywhoo, declawing is so unnecessarily cruel. My cat uses my furniture sometimes and it's got spots where it's shredded, but she also uses the scratching posts on her kitty condo.
