  • poor kitty :'(

  • For all those of you who declaw because you are concerned about your furniture... Look up Dr. Jean Hofve, a cat expert and vet. She has given great evidence on her website littlebigcat that showcases why declawed cats often develop serious housebreaking issues due to chronic pain which can prevent them from using a normal litterbox.

  • i realize that cats claws are extremely inconvenient but this just seems brutal

  • @twistedma1245 I love you.

  • Loved watching the cats claws being ripped from his paws

  • THANK YOU! AWESOME VIDEO!

    

  • You should be shot for doing this you freeking spaz

    

  • /reported this video for animal abuse

    bring this video down!

  • Declawing is not humane! Just get cat booties or scratch pist!

  • You use a litter called yesterday's news it's a paper pellets

  • since it cant use litter for 7 days what is the owner suppose to do? please answer

  • My roommate has cats, and I just purchased an expensive recliner, and they are already trying to claw it up. I don't give a crap, the cats are going to get declawed, or the bill to replace my furniture is going to be high. Screw it that they get depressed or whatever. Free food, water, love, massages, and lounging around. I've already tried the tricks, they don't work.....

  • @gadzoda go to little big cat, it's a website that feature full info on declawing. If you don't care that they feel pain, maybe you'll care about the evidence on that site that explains why declawed cats are far more likely to develop litter box problems because of chronic pain and piss all over your house.

  • hard to watch this...just revolting...

  • Get some softpaws people and stop mutilating your pets. Softpaws are plastic caps that go over the nails so your cat can not scratch your furniture and they don't disfigure your animal. Either that or dont get a cat.

  • "My cat scratches me too much so I got it declawed" If you treat it well it wouldn't scratch to hurt you.

    "My cat scratches my furniture so I got it declawed" Get it a fucking scratching post dumb ass.

  • These comments are rediculous amounts of stupid. Instead of yelling and cussing and blaming Americans because our lifestyle, environment and general point of view isn't YOURS, what if we all find something worthy of complaining about? No? OK, carry on with your pointless existence and act like anyone cares on YouTube.

  • Why this thing is not illegal?? :S

  • why would you declaw a cat when its claws are its primary defence, even if it hurts you, you can train it to stop scratching and biting

  • @yunus602 house cats dont need defense though?

  • @zj0nzj0n well the can catch small prey like mice and rats with their claws.

  • Disgusting. In here we can fully appreciate who is the animal. That is all I have to say

  • shame on you, the sooner it's banned the better

  • thats is inhumane,cat claws is cat weapon and tools!!! i dare you to cut your finger!!! cat also a living thing!!

  • I'm wondering how many people who says it's ok to declaw the cats live in America? How come people being so ignorant and in denial? No, it is not ok to declaw the cats. Cat claws are not the same as your nails for gods sake! Get the fact right...people, educate yourself! This practice is illegal in at least 14 countries and all the vets who perform this kind of practice should get their license revoked. I live in Australia and it's illegal here and for GOOD REASONS. A barbaric act. Please STOP

  • @MDCSYD Look, It is not abuse, it is not illegal in America. How about this. Because you like facts so much, look up how badly a cat can hurt a human with those claws. and guess what else. They get over it!

  • @loveajc Are you kidding me? You declaw a cat because it could hurt you? and possibly BADLY? Are we talking about wild cats or ferals or even tigers but CATS????

    If you people are afraid of cats claws so much why do you consider keeping them as pets? What a convenient way to cop out. Shame on you.

  • im gonna come to yo house and declaw yo ass

  • Yes!!! Declaw them bastards!!im goin to do it to my cat i cant stand him scratching my TV,he broke my computer keys with scratching and he put holes in my brand new furniture!! cats should be declawed if they are household pets if they are outdoor then they shouldnt be!! thats my opinion!!

  • Is this religiously motivated? These people are nuts.

  • Daaaaaamn that's pretty brutal. If only cats weren't such arrogant pricks and respected the superior species we wouldn't have to do this to them :( Poor fools.

  • @WCdragoninja My cats getting declawed today and now im even more sad for her

  • @meghan1872 Well then why for God's sake would you declaw it? That is ABSOLUTELY INHUMANE :S

    Shame on all of you that send your pets for pulling their nails out! FREAKIN' SHAME ON YOU!

  • @lilserbogirl4eva Its not like I can do anything to stop it! Im only freakin 12! And if she is making holes in my parents furniture dam straight she is gonna get declawed!

  • @meghan1872 Regardless of whether you are 12 or 22 or 32 or 52, cats SHOULD NOT BE DECLAWED!

    Imagine someone pulling your nails out, how would you feel about it???

    And the fact that she is scratching your parents furniture - they can always be trained not to, and you can always buy the scratchers from a pet store, but no, you would rather torture the poor animal. That is simply called animal cruelty! Period. Animal abusers should not own a pet...seriously :S

  • @lilserbogirl4eva If you think cats getting declawed is cruel because it isn't "natural" or whatever justification you have then why not just not trim your cats claws at all. Better yet why not just stop trimming your nails too cause apparently if it's too cruel for your cat then it must be too cruel to do to yourself. Unless of course you enjoy not having huge nails... oh wait maybe your cat does too? They used to be predators and now they're domesticated therefore the purpose of claws is moot.

  • @Harten33 Are you SERIOUS?!. I don't understand people like you for real! If you're going to torture an animal by PULLING ITS NAILS out, then the only thing I can say = you are sick in the head. I mean, their ain't no other way. You want a pet but then you don't want your things 'destroyed', well I'm sorry but you can't have both. Unless, of course, as you say...yea pull its nails out. Seriously, if you do that to your cat- you obviously don't like it.

    Would you like your nails pulled out???

  • @lilserbogirl4eva I'm not saying I would ever do that to my cat, I am simply saying calling someone sick in the head because they want an alternative to a 3000$ leather couch getting scratched to hell by their pet. You say buy a scratching posts but obviously you have a well behaved cat. Not every animal is as good as you say and will not use a post and rather just scratch furniture. My dog did the same thing, didn't remove its teeth but there people who would rather fathom that option.

  • @lilserbogirl4eva I love my cat. Its not abuse. It only hurts for like 4 days. Get over it! Seriously

  • Wow, I hadn't realised how terrible this was.

  • Good to see all those sharp evil nails cut off for good!! I wish all cats were declawed. I want my dog declawed too.

  • @OnKneesforJesus4 I want my wife declawed

  • WOW. I was going to do this to my kitty but I can't. That's just too cruel.

  • Hey CUNT! How would you like it if I took a pair of garden cutters and cut your fingers off! Cutting a cats claws off and robbing them of they’re freedom! You know what freedom don’t you, fucking cunt!

    The cat as no way to defend itself now because you stole from the cat! You fucking cunt, you!

  • This vidoe should be removed and BANNED from youtube!

  • Nasty fucking cunt USA vets! In the UK cunts like you would face prision! EVIL BASTARDS! 

  • stoooooooooooop  that hurt

  • side effects

    they may bite more or wont use the litter box probably or they can feel pain when the surgery site is touched even after complete healing

  • I love it! Cats are bums! Eat for free, they have a place to sleep for free, and there owner cleans up there shit, for free! Getting the little fuckers declawed so they can enjoy there lazy ass lifestyle is an easy tradeoff. Or throw the little piece of shit outside to get hit by a car.... Hmmmmmm.... Which is better. Maybe little kitty should get a job to pay for everything they destroy. Cat lovers are a fucked up bunch of people. CATS are BUMS!!!!!!!!

  • Americans...declawing their cats and circumcising their infant sons. What a great fucking country.

  • @bnmjy - THE BIBLE TOLD US TO DO IT!!!!

  • @bnmjy they're country is just EVIL!

  • Yup this is what my new cat will have done.

  • @jslangenfeld Please don't, I can give you so many reasons not to. If you are more concerned with what a cats claws might do than you are for your cat just give it away.

  • I'm doing an internship at a Veterninary Hospital right now and got to watch a declaw surgery earlier today. After the vet completed the surgery and left the room, the vet tech was talking to me about how controversial a surgery it was and how she personally didn't agree with it because "it's like buying a dog and then expecting it not to bark." Going through with this surgery basically means you care more about your furniture than your animal, and that's just plain sad.

  • @o0Affinity0o

    im going to get my cat declawed, i guess i care more about my house than my cat

  • @o0Affinity0o It's more the people concerned with saftey. They dont want to be cut. I believe it is the equivilant of a dog owner removing their teeth for saftey. I think it's rediculous, but people do have it done.

  • Declawing cats is fucked up. How about we cut off the last knuckle on your finger and see how well you function. Assholes.

  • @CoryMassacre2 I believe public school cuts most of our knuckles off to begin with

  • Can not wait until people that does this to cats have to pay fines and go to court. SHAME ON YOU!!

  • The owner of this cat and the vet should have their figers cut just they can feel the same. This cruel practice should be banned. If you don't want cats, JUST DON'T HAVE THEM.

  • just throwing this out there- i love my cat.

    he was put to sleep when he was declawed. i have a big bottle of pain meds to give him throughout the week. he has been chillen on the couch snuggling and purring. totally fine. way better cat than the first 5 months of having him where he scratched the shit out of me and everyone else who came over. i have scratches all over my couch, blinds, everywhere. after that surgery as a kitten he wont be able to make me bleed again. we'll be much happier

  • I'm a vet student, being a vet is the only thing in life I could ever be.

    But if the choice was being stripped of my profession and declawing just one cat? Guess i'd better get job searching in that case.

    Vets should promote animal welfare, but this is nothing but cruelty.

  • @WalkingDoodle YOU will be a great vet. Happy that you have values and that you are not practicing cruelty against animals just to get the money of some mean and cruel people. Congratulations.

  • @jroldan4 Why thank you, it always makes my day to hear that. Vets that perform these pointless and harming procedures disgust me.

    Debarking is another one. Working with the dog is too much hard work for some lazy, ignorant dog owners. Either work with the animal, or accept the conditions aren't right to own that animal. Don't force pain and long term adverse side effects on them for you or your neighbours convenience.

    If you loved that animal, why inflict cruelty on them?

  • POOR KITTY!!!!!!! </3

  • Fuck your stupid furniture. If you want a pretty house, buy your cat a scratching post or something.

  • @WhitePhoeniix doesnt work

  • OMG! cannot believe it!

    DECLAWING!!?? seriously??

    This is not allowed in my country, what a luck!

    Why are people doing something so awful and cruel to a cat???why?

  • Anyone who would mutilate such a beautiful animal doesn't deserve to have a pet.. in fact, I would lock them up and observe them for psychotic behaviour as quite clearly they are not all there..

  • @anxresi Hey. I have to pay to be de-toenailed. I'm WAY looking forward to not getting ingrown toenails. There are worse things than being declawed.

  • this is horrible but its my only option if I wanna keep my kitty. :'/

  • This is just stupid... Its like removing their whiskers, or tail, or why not teeth? If you dont want your cat to scratch on your furniture, then get good scratching furniture and teach the cat to use them. And also do trim the cats claws with a nailclipper designed for cats/small dogs. And if your afraid of gettings scratched, well, dont get a cat then. This is just so incredible irrisponsible, im glad its illegal in Sweden.

  • :( poor kitty...

  • my cousin has a very seet cat named mocha. She has claws and she was born wild, instead of declawing cats (which takes of a part of their paws) you can just trim them or make them a little more dull, yes they will get sharp again but it wont hurt to take some responsibility and do some work rather than "abuse" them

  • The stray cat I have has spent his life trying to play and grab things he can't. YOU DECLAW YOUR CAT TO SAVE YOUR FURNITURE> YOU ARE SCUM.

  • My cat is declawed. its very friendly and never had any behavior problems. i never got it declawed though that was the previous owner lolo

  • cat declawing causes the cat to have behavioural problems and in some instances, cats stop using there cat boxes. I have many friends with cats and SOME are declawd. The declawd cats cause alot more damage around the houses then the ones with claws. If you dont want a animal with claws, get a horse, donkey or another animal that dont have claws. This IS animal cruelty!!!!

  • @LarsonLozier2011 what kinds of damage do the declawed cats cause?

  • As I see it, if cat declawing wasn't allowed so many cats would be getting killed cause not that many people would adopt them.

  • @jnyfried

    People who would choose not to adopt a clawed cat in favor of a declawed one should not own a cat anyway.

  • wtf is this. how can you even post a video promoting cruelty?! this is hard for me to watch. cats scratch. they all do. its instinct. if you don't like that fact, go own a rabbit instead.

  • vets that do this horrific thing need to be shut down and face charges in federal court. vets that do this in my eyes are committing an act of terrorism on the innocent animals. this is clearly animal cruelty. how the f*ck can they get away with this? I stand for animal rights. I can understand getting them shots and fixed but thats ALL!!!

  • How bout I rip your fingertips off?

  • in exchange for guaranteed freedom to live in an air conditioned house, eat free food, get massaged all the time, and do nothing? Definitely an option, man!

  • @MovingUpp and if they got bored of you and throw you in the streets, say hello to mr certain death

  • @HolyBomb yep. that scenario would suck big time

  • this is horrible how could u do such a thing! :(

  • omg seeing this makes me want to cry :(

  • Love declawing cats and watching them limp around like idiots. That is what you get for scratching me.

  • @spirojus omg shut up you stupid meanie how would you feel jerk face you better shut your mouth

  • @kimmiesanh We are dominant over cats. They are lucky we feed them and change their litter boxes. Ripping their daggers out of them isn't too much for us to ask as owners.

  • Comment removed

  • If you can't accept a cat for being a cat then dont effin own a cat.

  • Wouldn't it save time by just cutting of the whole paw? That's how I did mine, but I didn't have clippers so I had to use a brick instead.

  • I feel the pain when this is happening. :(

  • Do vets HAVE to do this?

  • I cannot believe I actually considered doing this to my precious kitten. Thank you youtube. U saved my cat...I feel horrible now :(

  • i wanna be a vet but i dont think i can do this,

  • @ixbunnie don't worry its illegal in most counrtys and soon will be every where

  • @ixbunnie You don't have to. In many countries is forbidden and even if is not if you're against it you can decline the surgery for ethical reasons.

  • People do this to their cats ALL THE TIME! Sick.

  • О господи, это ужасно. Операция "мягкие лапки" - спрос большой, но я ее никогда делать не буду, я врач, а не садист какой-то. Бедных животных калечат ради каких-то сраных обоев и мебели. Рыбок себе заводите, придурки, если вам мебель жалко! Когда же эту мерзость запретят в России....

  • Some people like their furniture. Go marry a fuckin golden retriever u weirdos.

  • I hope the so called vet dies painfully. Cunt.

  • @tool2342 Now, see, that's an overreaction.

  • This is fucked up

  • This is so cool and funny.

  • This just goes to show you that most vets could give a shit about the animals. Most of them only care about the money. I would never do this to my cat and there is no need to. I use soft paws, they are small plastic caps that you put on your cats claws.

  • This is horrible!!! I'm really glad they don't allow this in our country!

  • Claws are not like human "nails". Its pretty much like removing fingers from a human

  • I think declawing a cat is pretty fucked up! What if they get outside and have to defend themselves!

  • My cat was declawed five years ago, and he's doing just fine. FACT.

  • Comment removed

  • I want to go to school to become a Vet. I would say "Hell no" to anyone who comes in and want to declaw their cat. 

  • Putting all personal feelings aside, Thank you for recording this. It will help me with the bandaging aspect.

  • Hell yeah can't wait to try this at home :)

  • I'm sooo anti-declawing! It has terrible effects on the car after the procedure.

  • ....I want to vomit. This poor baby :(

  • This vet is actually just pulling out nails and dabbing tissue glue in! Guaranteed this cat will get an infection. I'm a vet and thank god I live in a country that has made this illegal!!! If u don't like cat behavior DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CAT!!! Do t buy an animal just to mutilate it!

  • If you can't be bothered to put nail caps on your cats nails or even to trim their nails, you don't deserve to own a cat. Period.

    My little Wheatley is a pain in the butt sometimes (especially when he tries to use his claws to climb up on my lap when I'm wearing shorts) but I would never declaw him. When I went in on his last checkup the vet asked me about it and my answer was an emphatic "NO".

    I couldn't imagine trying to function without the tips of my fingers and toes :(

  • This is probably going to get immensly disliked, but here I go. At the time i adopted my cat, my parents said that she had to be declawed to live with us. At the time, I had no clue of the implications, but what I know now is that she was ONE WEEK from being put down. Choosing between cutting out a cat's claws or leaving them to die, I would take declawing every time.

  • Comment removed

  • why dont they just make it less sharp?

  • @ItzKiddyGames They're not just taking off the claws, they're taking off the toe. It's easy to trim a cat's claws at home, though!

  • wheres the cats head?

    

  • Kill all humans who declaw cats.

  • Comment removed

  • I thought they did it with a laser these days. At least, that's how they declawed my cat and he wasn't in pain at all.

  • @mkisthecool1 It's terrible that you had your cat declawed anyway, laser or not.  Is there any good reason you had it declawed?!?

  • The majority of people are so quick to judge. There are plenty of cases where it is absolutely necessary. Our previous cat had a problem of scratching with enjoyment, we gave it two years and our only other option was to give him away or set him free, which we didn't want (we loved him)

    I think you're basing negatives on a very wide scale indeed. Most declawed cats won't experience what you've listed in the video. It's sorta like saying you might hallucinate if you take cough medicine.

  • @Scullnblades "Set him free"? WTF??????????

  • Ugh, this is horrible! I would never, ever de-claw my cat. If I ever have children and I'm afraid that my cat will scratch them, I'd just teach my kids to be nice to the cat instead of punishing the cat for protecting itself. This is so painful to watch. :(

  • Can a cat be declaw At three years old? My stupid cat has been going out at nite, and bringing back baby rabbits. And they screen so I have to go outside and take my cat by the neck , and put her in a kennel for a day our two, luckily I intervened in time and the babies rabbit gets away.

  • @tampabayismyhome

    don't declaw your cat idiot.

  • I cant take this... Too sad...He must be in so much pain....

  • *Covers eyes* Nail caps people.

  • I can't watch this, this is too cruel, as soon as I saw the scissors I got sick.

  • Comment removed

  • Why would anyone want to do this to a cat - it is not a sign of loving your cat - if you take on the responsibility of a cat then you must expect it might do some damamge - if it proves to much then give it to someone else - don't mutilate it..if it wailed too much would you have it's vocal chords removed - cats are good at hiding pain this poor thing must have been in agony after this horrific unneccessary torture...NO VET SHOULD DO THIS UNLESS MEDICALLY NEEDED - NOT FOR THE OWNERS BENEFIT.

  • Omg! That's fucking discusting. Couldn't watch all of it, although I hope this vid opens people's eyes about the surgery if they're thinking of doing it to their cats. -shivers-

  • I am going to be sick. I want to hug all the declawed cats of the world, including my dad's cat!

  • my goodness! i dont like cats but this is just painful looking...gross

  • - become timid and shy when having been affective and playful?

    - develop arthritis later on due to the not natural posture they are forced in?

    No?

    Would you trust your garage if they sell you an anchor as the latest breaking system for cars which even does not need to be maintained?

    If not, then think if you would trust a vet not talking about the most common side effects of this surgery.

    Not to the vet.

    I have a copy of my answers and will continue posting if my text will be deleted.

  • Ever wondered why all the sound is replaced by a fancy funny music?

    It's because they don't want to show that this surgery is even painful with general anesthetic and additional local anesthetic in each paw.

    Does the vet state that cats tend to

    - tend to mark with urine instead of using their scent marks on their paws due to the pain in the paws post surgery?

    - avoid litter box due to the painful experience post surgery?

    - become biters since they have lost their claws to defend themselves?

  • If this is so bad then why is it an option? Please stop comparing this to cutting of human fingers and such its really not the same. I agree that this must hurt in a way but at least we are not killing it and eating it like cows, pigs, and every other animal we would rather eat than feed.

  • @davidortiz7 You obviously know nothing about the surgery then. It IS like removing the ends of your fingers/toes, they don't just chop the claw off like you would trim your nails, they cut the lower bone off as well. Otherwise the claw would grow back (just as a nail would).

    Tell me that isn't cruel to an animal that by it's very design and nature needs it's claws to run, climb, goto the toilet and defend itself...

  • For the people who declaw thier cat, I hope someone takes a chainsaw and cuts all your fingers and toes off.

  • I have a Cat from Hell and I've considered declawing but I bought soft paws claw caps instead... I'll see how those work 1st !.!.!. I'm glad somebody posted this video, I really couldn't watch it all the way threw ;(.... Poor kitty !.!.!.

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............­....i couldnt even watch this!!!! ONLY CRAZY PEOPLE WOULD GET THEIR CATS NAILS CUT OFF LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @CoolParakeets :(....

  • This is cruel and not called for a cat is given claws for a reason it's illegal for that to be done over here.

  • Comment removed

  • that sucks . . . ill still declaw my cat in a heartbeat tho :/

  • This shit is like yakuza style. Damn.

  • I stopped it after the first two seconds! How barbaric, how is this even legal??? Why even have a pet if your so effin house proud that you care about a stupid sofa over your cats welfare!?!?!

  • @StarscreamLuke Yes it is, because our governments are barbaric institutions who care about spreading their power wherever and whenever possible, not caring who they step on along the way. Human or animal. People can be so stupid sometimes (well, actually most of the time in my experience).

  • declawing a cat is rather strange,cats as a fact need claws not only to climb but protect themselves so i wonder the health of your cat if you ever decide to declaw because as a fact it wont be great..............peace

  • cat declawing should be illegal.

  • I think no cats or kittens should get this. It's just inhuman. What if a cat or a kitten ran away and they have nothing to defend them selfs.

  • @Hekuta89

    Dude, the fact that we eat meat gives us the right to take certain animals as our food source.

    Yet declawing a cat has no purpose other than to leave your sofa scratch free.

    Why take a cat if your afraid of damaged furniture?

    This is not about being oversensitive, this is just not needed.

    It's exactly the same as removing your fingers/hands at birth, so you wont become a thief later in life.

    Selfish people want a cat but cant take resposibilty for it.

  • @Hekuta89

    You really took the time to type a message like that just to piss Me of?

    What a shame for you that you failed to piss me of, and you also fail to troll haha.

    funny

  • @Hekuta89 Dude Its just a name i called my self countrygirl cause i grew up in the country and i hate livin in the city and know i didnt think the frog had medication u idiot i just dont like to see a cat getting declawed cause i own a cat and i know a cat may not feel there toes getting cut off while there alseep but they feel the pain after so shut up

  • you know people keep saying how would u like your first nuckle cut ioff and how declawing is wrong, witch im not saying is right, but... how would u like it if some one cut your nuts off !!!!! lol! in my opinion same thing.
