DECLAWING ALTERNATIVES

We at Greys and Strays do not advocate declawing for ethical reasons....We NEVER have and NEVER will. The following articles elucidate declawing, should you declaw, how to deal with claws, and how to trim claws.  Check out this site for ALTERNATIVES to declawing.  Please read the Welfare Implications of Declawing Domestic Cats and the AAFP's 2017 Declawing Position Statement before you make your decision.  Claw trimming helps tremendously along with scratchers of various substrates, sizes and types; cat nip, pheromones, Feliscratch, double sided tape, tin foil, and Soft Paws.

THE PAW PROJECT--all cats deserve their claws!!!
Dr Downing: It's time for veterinarians to stop mutilating cats' feet
Living with a Clawed Cat: The Cat Community website is from the AAFP--this has excellent info on general cat care along with claw info, declawing info, scratching info
How to Trim Cat Nails
Scratcher Ideas
How to Teach your Cat Appropriate Scratching Behaviors
Pain and Adverse Behavior in Declawed Cats
