Onychectomy (Declawing)

A surgical process that permanently removes the nails on an animal (British vets have unilaterally banned it by deciding they won't ever declaw except in cases of medical necessity, not to be encouraged elsewhere). DO NOT DECLAW - Your Cats need their claws as their first line of defence - Maiming your pet cat by removing its claws is not the right solution. If you think more of your inanimate objects, then a cat is not for you.
