Declawing Cats – The Facts

Many cat owners must make the decision of whether or not to declaw their pets. Owners must realize that cat declawing is not a simple issue. Whether they realize it or not, there are short and long-term effects that declawing can have on a cat. It is ultimately the owner’s decision, however, to weigh these issues and see whether or not declawing is necessary. Below are some of the issues that can be considered by cat owners.

First, it is important to consider what a cat uses its claws for. They use them to mark their territory. They also use them for their agility in jumping, chasing, and running. Their retractable claws help them establish good footing and balance. A cat will also use its claws for defense against predators. Often, an owner will only see a cat’s claws as the reason their sofa, carpet, or curtains are torn and ruined.

When a cat is declawed, it is not as simple as cutting off its toenails. A cat’s claws are attached to ligament, tendons, and bones. Removal of the claws is likened to amputating each finger off a human hand. Similarly, declawing cuts off the first bone of each of the cat’s toes. It is also a very painful recovery for the cat, since it walks on these now tender paws. There is no pain medication given to the cat afterward, since cats do not tolerate them well – so every step it takes will produce pain for some time. Often, owners will note a psychological affect from declawing also. The once friendly, playful cat will become quiet and aloof.

Since declawing is an operation that requires anesthesia, complications from the procedure itself can arise. Although rare, infection, excessive bleeding, possible paralysis, as well as death from the anesthesia can occur. If not done correctly, there is also the possibility of the claw growing back in an abnormal manner, growing through the top or bottom of the paw.

A cat’s whole defense system relies on its claws. Once declawed, a cat should never be allowed outside. If confronted, especially by another animal, a cat will claw or chase and run. When chasing and running, a cat relies on its claws. Without claws, it is unable to fight. You may honestly believe that since your cat is solely kept in the house, it will have no need for self-defense, and use this as an excuse to declaw. Unfortunately, even a house cat can get loose. You have now left your cat totally defenseless in the world. What chance would it have in the face of danger?

The fact is that declawing is banned in many countries, as they consider it an inhumane procedure. Declawing does have alternatives though. Proper training of the cat will eliminate human scratching, as well as furniture scratching. To deal further with furniture scratching, buy a scratching post. Make sure the post is not made of carpeting, but rather of some type of material similar to the backing on carpeting. Also, be sure to trim the cat’s claws regularly as part of your routine cat grooming. This will enable you, the cat, and its claws to live in harmony.

Car tyres inspired by a cat’s paws; a luxury car designed like a boxfish; an elephant-inspired tsunami early warning device. These are instances of technologies developed using biomimicry — a concept that uses nature as a model and a measure to evolve designs and processes in architecture, product development, chemistry, and infrastructure, reports HT Correspondent .

Cat Losing Fur?

There are many reasons for a  cat  losing fur. With cats, the problem can be caused by a number of factors.  The number one cause of itching, allergies, a cat losing fur is because the cats is an allergy to flea saliva, while bad odors have numerous causes.  Hair loss and bad odor is always a sign of a health problem.  A trip to the veterinarian is essential in determining the specific cause.  Your veterinarian may discover changes in your cat’s health that you have overlooked. It is always better to contact your vet just to be safe. 

Cat losing fur can also come down to something as simple as grooming.  Cats keep clean by licking themselves – but not every cat is an expert, particularly overweight cats! Since cats are so clean, they tend to prevent a lot of problems.

Excessive licking, which can lead to acat losing fur, is considered a displacement behavior but can be greatly reduced by calming and comforting your cat.  It can sometimes become habitual if the source of the problem is not properly identified and addressed. Have there been any changes in the house recently?

  A recent move, the addition or loss of another pet in the home, or even a change of schedule can cause anxiety in the cat.  Try to set aside some extra time every day just to play with your cat, pet her and talk to her.  That will help reduce her stress and hopefully help to resolve her excessive licking problemas well as the cat losing fur.

If your pet is nervous by nature, she may be chewing herself raw or just losing hair from stress.   A flea eating the flesh causes animals to become stressed if they have had problems with them for a little while and have had to handle the itch with constant scratching. 

Your cat losing fur in only certain areas could be a symptom that possibly indicates ringworm, but it could also indicate other skin conditions/allergies or health problems. If the lesions are all over her body, the vet is definitely the best one to advise you, make a diagnosis, and prescribe a treatment.

Another cause for a cat losing fur is simply a part of the process of aging.
