Aww, I was surfing your website... that poor Siamese with the bad declaw.
It makes me so angry that people still do this to cats, and then wonder WHY they
have issues. :-\
There's a GREAT site you can link to that will help educate people on
declaws and the surgery to repair bad ones. It's aimed at big (wild) cats, but
it's the same surgery as used on domestic cats, with the same side effects,
dangers, and cures (reconstructive surgery). Warning, you will cry your eyes DRY
if you watch the video of Kona!

they fix the cats' paws with reconstructive surgery)

studies, with pics)
http://www.pawproject.com/kona.html (Kona's
video, so heartbreaking)
I really wish more small animal vets would learn from these vets doing
these repairs on these big cats, because I think MANY of our domestic cats could
benefit from the same reconstructive surgery. I think the main reason why we
don't se as obvious of effects in domestic cats is simply a body weight issue,
if our cats weighed more, we would see the same crippling effects in declaws in
them as are seen so commonly in big cats.
Of course, the big issue is stopping declawing on a national level (in the
USA)... but that's way off topic for this list.
Did you know your updated notices say LAST year? I think you're a bit
behind, LOL!
And yes, he is an awfully CUTE little dog! He has a very expressive
face.
