re: Girlfriend's cat got in a fight with an opossum

Long time ago, my neighbor had a delcawed cat they'd let out and just roam. I was like "man, this isn't gonna end well". Eventually it got into it with a racoon. And well, long story short, it was brutal. People who do that should be in jail.

Definitely shouldn't declaw a cat, but if you do it needs to always stay inside.

I lost a pet cat because he couldn't defend himself in his own backyard from a neighbor's dog. Was not my choice to declaw and I won't do it.
