ALTERNATIVE TO DECLAWING
Declawing, called onyxectomy, is a painful operation which consists of “amputating” the first phalanx of each finger. Despite the fact that kittens are light when declawed, there is still a risk that cats will be left with what are called “phantom pains”. The risk increases when the operation is done on an adult cat. It must be remembered that the day after the operation, the cat must walk on its fingers, which is painful for the animal, despite the painkillers prescribed. Declawing also increases the risk of the animal developing osteoarthritis.
