You 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.

You think a lot of people on Lemmy don’t understand that declawing harms cats?

I don’t know what everyone on lemmy knows or not.

Really? You have no grasp on the general demographic and ideological leaning of this platform and how that might be an indicator?

Is that information even available anywhere or are we just guessing?

Yes, it is available.
