Anyone know if declawing cats is illegal in california? I want Daminja declawed. If it is illegal I will go to Mexico or Nevada to do it. I don't care. I just got FUCKED up by her while trying to trim those things. I want her spayed too . Anything horrible that you can do to an animal I want done to her. I've never wanted to punch an animal as

It's time to get rid of Daminja, KC. You're not home often enough to give her the attention she needs, which is one of the reasons she's so hyper like that. She is still a kitten. Kittens are like human children. Please call Katrina and let her help you take care of it.

BTW I did get my cats declawed when it was still legal. They were very young when we had just their front claws removed. The rear ones were and are never a problem. I feel it's no more cruel than getting your cat fixed, which I think is imperative. Besides, there were no alternatives at the time. My cats are both very happy and healthy, and not what anyone could call 'traumatized'. They love having their front paws touched, so I do not believe they have any memory of the operation.

However, I was and am at a point in my life where I can properly care for animals. You, my sweet minja, are not. Please put the cat in a place where it will have a better life than what you're capable of providing for it at this time. That is the least cruel alternative, and best for both of you.

Aww Becky, you know I was kidding. I'm not going to kill Daminja. I could return Daminja to the Boatmans whenever I want to, but I like her a lil bit :)
She is a sweet cat most of the time, but the biting and scratching has got to stop. I'm getting scars and so is my mom. I was told that this phase would end along time ago and I think its time to try something else.
I've tried those damn Soft paws things that Trina and Mysti mentioned and they dont work. she chews them off. Its a crappy product and it looks dumb as hell.
I don't belive that declawing a cat will change it's personality. I know alot of declawed cats and they are fine. She will always be a housecat so I dont think it will be an issue of her having any back problems or being able to protect herself.

I dunno. I'll look into it more.

My 2 cents

I agree with Becky - getting them declawed is no more cruel than having them fixed. You should get both done. I've had and known many happy cats that don't have front claws. She seems to have a bit of an extra skittish personality, spaying might help with that. Best of luck to you!
