Yeah, same here...My dad was a cat lover, especially Siamese
cats and he always had them declawed cuz he wanted to keep
them indoors as he thought they would be healthier if they stayed
indoors. Oh he had them spayed/neutered of course. And they
never got infections, arthritiis or nothing from being declawed, thats
why im so puzzled by this thread about cats getting infections,
deformed or whatever! Wow, thats news to me!

I suspect that maybe some vets may not have done the procedures
correctly or something if declawing didnt go right or something..
it happens. Not all vets are very good, ya know?
