Even though it could be better for your couch, that might not be the best thing for your cat.
Declawing is defined as “the amputation of the last bone of each toe on a cat’s paw” by The Humane Society of the United States, and that definition alone should dissuade you from engaging in the procedure.
Our animal buddies endure great anguish during declawing, as the society compared it to chopping off your finger at the last knuckle.
They continued, giving an explanation: “Using a scalpel or guillotine clipper, amputation is the usual way of declawing. The feet are wrapped, and the incisions are sealed with surgical glue or stitches.”
Recently, the declawing debate has spread to Twitter, largely due to the popular account “non aesthetic things.”
The user wrote, “This is why you shouldn’t declaw your cat,” and included a video that showed what happens to cats who are declawed.
Basically, declawing causes the last bone on a cat’s toes to be severed and removed. This impacts the tendons and ligaments and eliminates the claw entirely.
Cats may feel “extreme pain” when they learn to walk on what are essentially amputated toes, but they do heal eventually.
The movie described how this causes cats to struggle with walking, jumping, and balance, which would ultimately cause them to exhaust their nine lives.
Even in the long run, defewing can have negative effects like arthritis, persistent pain, and limited mobility.
Oh, poor infants.
Many people have flocked to the Twitter video’s comments section, where many have only recently discovered the grim reality of declawing.
One member said, “So declawing your cat is just removing parts of their feet wth.”
One person wrote, “literally, take off our very last finger bone that we literally use to type,” another wrote, “It’s absurd to think that a significant portion of people in the US declaw their cats.” A third person wrote, ” To be honest, I’ve never heard of this outside of the United States.”
Four people said, “Declawing should be banned everywhere, it’s just inhumane!” in the meantime.
Plus Size Woman Is Rejected by Fiances Parents, They Beg Her to Marry Him Later
This story really highlights how harmful prejudice and control can be, especially when it comes to parents interfering in their children’s relationships. Stella and Richard’s rejection wasn’t about Stephanie’s worth or her love for Ben; it was rooted in their narrow, superficial view of what their future should look like. It’s a painful reminder that true love isn’t about fitting someone else’s ideal—it’s about accepting and cherishing each other just as you are. Stephanie’s journey shows incredible resilience, proving that self-worth doesn’t depend on others’ approval, even from loved ones.
Ben’s experience also serves as a lesson: standing up for someone you love may mean facing disapproval or even sacrifice, but losing someone you cherish due to others’ judgment can bring even greater pain. By the time his parents realized their mistake, it was too late. Stephanie found someone who appreciated her unconditionally, and Ben’s parents were left to grapple with their regret.
This story underscores the importance of letting people make their own choices and recognizing that love, respect, and support are what create lasting bonds—not conformity to an image or ideal.
