InucuneYou will want thick gloves, a thick towel, and a container with lid to insert the cat into. Beans is not declawed, and knows you will struggle to maneuver under the bed. You may need a spray bottle of water as well.
Good luck.
declawed
I haven’t yet had my fingertips snipped off either. Lovely euphemism for “mutilation of extremities”.
Do you just go around looking to be offended?
In this instance I agree with his point though. I don’t see you walking around without fingertips.
On a whole I don’t support any sort of unnecessary bodily modification, declawing, tail bobbing, circumcisions, or whatever.
What bothers me is when people find it necessary to interject some unneeded drivel because of some passing word that’s a perfectly well accepted term.
It’s not unneeded. A lot of people don’t understand what declawing actually is or haven’t put thought into the harm it causes. They just think it’s a harmless way to protect their furniture.
I don’t know what everyone on lemmy knows or not.
If one wants to be an ‘aktually’ arse then take note that ‘declawing’ is actually a much more precise term than ‘mutilation of extremities’ which could perfectly well mean putting their tail in a wood chipper and be technically correct
wonderingwandererAre you literally being the arse you wish to see in the world?
Also, no, that’s a really shitty take. “Mutilation” doesn’t have to refer to the most extreme examples in every case. Amputating the tips of their digits is mutilation, and just because you can think of a more extreme example of mutilation doesn’t change that fact.
