Hey! I thought KetoPoweredK9 is a dog website! well, it is but I also have a cat- Leo the leopard bengal as I like to call him.
And I will admit, Before I got a cat I had no idea what was involved when they declaw a cat, I figured they just took the claws out and life goes on right? Wrong! declawing a cat is a terrible thing for them.

““I’ve had to explain it’s not just about simply cutting a claw, it’s an amputation. It’s painful for them,” Rosenthal told The Post.”

( 6/4/2019) New York just passed a law banning declawing making New York the first state in the nation to do this! Kudos to you guys. Now the rest of the states need to follow suite.  Article here
“FACTS ABOUT FELINE DECLAWING Declawing is amputation; it is not merely the removal of the claws. To declaw a cat, the veterinarian cuts off the last knuckles of a cat’s paw – cutting through bone, tendons, skin and nerves. In a person, it is equivalent to amputating each finger or toe at the last joint. Declaw surgery can be an extremely painful procedure with associated health risks and complications such as infection. Declaw surgery can produce permanent lameness, pain or arthritis. Declawing is the same mutilating procedure for house cats or big cats.
