Amputating is disgusting, if you don't want your curtains in tatters don't have a cat.
I can see my very red town who can't stand Gavin being divided given we're very cat involved with the shelter and various charities/adoption events.

California bans declawing cats under new state law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom​

California has officially outlawed the practice of declawing cats after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 867 into law, a measure animal welfare advocates are calling a historic win for animal protection and compassionate treatment.

The bill, authored by Assemblymember Alex Lee and signed Thursday, makes California the largest state to prohibit the procedure, which involves amputating the first bone in each of a cat’s toes or severing tendons to prevent claw extension. Declawing will now only be allowed when medically necessary to treat a health condition, according to the legislation.

In a press release, In Defense of Animals, one of several groups that helped lead the years-long campaign to end declawing, celebrated the governor’s decision. “Declawing isn’t a nail trim, it’s a painful amputation that has no place in a compassionate society,” said Dr. Marilyn Kroplick, the organization’s president. “Today’s victory proves California is leading the way in protecting cats and prioritizing their well-being over human convenience.”

Let's say for arguments sake that I agree declawing your cat is barbaric ...

Do you think this will have a negative effect on people bringing one home from the shelter? Will this lead to more wild cats ? Will more cats ultimately end up put to sleep because of this ?

I am a road to hell is paved with good intentions kinda guy.
 
Its cat's nature to scratch at stuff. As an owner its your job to correct it when its scratching at things it shouldn't and show it where its supposed to scratch. I put declawing on the same level as leftist hero Piker shocking his dog if it doesn't stay put for 4hrs.

My two adult cats were from our shelter, our feral new kitten from outside. I didn't factor in anything to do with claws. A friend worked at a vets for 10 years and they would have to stay in for 2 nights to be monitored after declawing and the blood loss was crazy.

I know you're playing devil's advocate but there is nothing positive whatsoever about declawing.
 
He wants to be President so badly.
Too bad he has no chance to win it in 2028.
If AOC doesn't run he is practically guaranteed to win the nomination.
Or, you know, it should just be against the law anyway?
And what's wrong with wanting to be president? He's young, the wit he and his team have come up with in recent weeks has been not that of a dinosaur mashing his fingers on the toilet at 3am, who would be your pick?

Right I am and I'm speculating that this is going to have unintended consequences, like when Republicans fuck with abortion without a plan for what comes next. I also think this might have unintended consequences for other animals besides cats as well.

I'm pretty sure there's Lotta folks out there who don't want a half feral cat tearing their house up and I'm pretty sure more effective predators outdoors for those folks who let the cat out isn't going to be great for birds and lizards and such.

My 3 are strictly indoor cats, too many bad drivers and Coyotes. I drop off food at the shelter as a donation from the things I sell so I'll ask when I'm there if people ask specifically for declawed cats.

You make a compelling case... For our next president to not be 75+ years old.

And Gavin Newsom also make a compelling case for the next president to be younger than Gavin Newsom.

As for who you're going to support for President in 2028, it obviously is going to be Newsom.
You're at least 99.67% certain to support him, given you're a ....

*In her late 30s.
*No kids.
*Live in California.
*Drive a Subaru.
*Bi-curious.
