ODE TO PAWS

Paws are great for lots of things! For running and jumping, For touching and loving; Like feet are to humans And to birds, like wings.

Inside of these cute little paws, Every cat has a set of claws. Claws with which we are born. Claws that from us, Should not be torn. Just like a human’s fingertips That can tickle and feel, And bring food to your lips.

A cat’s claws have many uses, And keep us safe when we are afraid. To scurry and climb, To scratch and defend, They are part of how a cat’s body is made.

A cat would never decide To have a part of their body thrown out. And if a cat could, At this decision, We would surely scream and shout!

Learn to love us as we are, And as we were made by God to be. Learn to open up your eyes, And to see the reality. Give us the right tools, And together we can live in harmony.

Without claws a hungry lion In the wild could not survive. Without a heart inside of us We cannot be alive. Without their leathery wings, A bat cannot be a bat. Without our claws inside of our paws; A cat cannot be a cat.

From my book: THINK PAW-sitive. Visit my website for info: www.theoreocat.com ABOUT DECLAWING. What are the potential complications of declawing? 1) Pain. While the immediate post-surgical pain that the cats suffer is obviously severe, it is hard to know how much chronic pain and suffering declawing causes. Cats typically conceal pain or illness until it becomes unbearable. Studies show that declawed cats cats display an average of 5 of 18 signs of pain and abnormal behaviors per cat months-years post declaw…….clawed cats have an average of 0-1 sign of pain per cat! Cats stop grooming when they are in pain or sick. 46% of declawed cats display a decrease in normal hygiene and grooming behavior. 2) Post-surgical complications. Lameness, abscesses, and regrowth of the claw can occur after surgery. Studies show a shocking 66% complication rate of left over P3 fragments in declawed cats paws. P3 fragments can cause painful nail regrowth under the skin up to 15 years after surgery. Smaller P3 fragments are analogous to a “pebble in the shoe” that the cat must walk on every day. 3) Joint Stiffness. In declawed (and tenectomized) cats, the tendons that control the toe joints retract after the surgery, and over time these joints become essentially “frozen.” The toes can no longer be extended, but remain fully contracted for the lifetime of the cat. The fact that most cats continue to “scratch” after they are declawed is often said to “prove” that the cat does not “miss” its claws. However, this is as easily explained as the cat’s desperate desire to stretch those stiff, contracted paw, leg, shoulder and spinal joints. Studies show that 38% of declawed cats display significant alterations in their posture and decreased ability to ambulate normally. 4) Arthritis. Declawed cats shift their body weight backward onto the large central pad of the front feet and off the toes. If this altered gait persists over time, it causes stress on the leg joints and spine, and can lead to damage and arthritic changes in multiple joints. Most declawed cats suffer from plantigrade stances and paw pad callouses from the redistribution of forces. Studies show over 80% of declawed cats displayed plantigrade stance OR a paw pad callous. 5) Litterbox problems. Declawed cats have more litter box avoidance problems than clawed cats. If cat owners knew they could end up trading scratched furniture for urine-soaked carpeting, they might have second thoughts about declawing. Studies show that 15% of cats will develop litterbox avoidance behaviors after declawing. Sterile cystitis and FUS tend to be very common in declawed cats and present in 80% of declawed cats. 6) Biting. Deprived of claws, a cat may turn to its only other line of defense—its teeth. Studies show that 36% of declawed cats show outward aggression including biting without warning in non-threatening environments. 7) Death. Declawing that results in biting or litterbox avoidance may result in the cat being dumped at a shelter. Such behaviors make them unadoptable, and they will be euthanized. Many declawed cats acting out of pain are abandoned or exiled to a life outdoors because of these unwanted behaviors, even though declawed cats should not be allowed outside—their ability to defend themselves from predators, and to escape danger by climbing, is seriously impaired. Places where declawing is ILLEGAL: England / Scotland / Wales / Italy / Austria / Switzerland / Norway / Sweden / Ireland / Denmark / Finland / Slovenia / Brazil / Australia / New Zealand / Serbia / Montenegro / Macedonia / Slovenia / France / Germany / Bosnia / Malta / Netherlands / Northern Ireland / Portugal / Belgium / Israel Before declawing, GET THE FACTS.
