My cat is getting declawed
My cat is getting declawed and I don't get a say in it. He's around 6 months old, and when we get him fixed, he's probably getting declawed as well. My step mom says she couldn't have nice things before this (she had 4 boys, all of which were chaotic as kids, and a cat.) He clawed this one thing she had (don't know what it was) it wasn't bad, but now she's pissed, and is getting him declawed. It's so cruel, I don't want him to suffer at all. I get why she's upset, and I know how frustrating it can be, but she's dead set on declawing. It is LITERALLY ILLEGAL in some countries. Is there anything I can do to help convince her to give him time to grow out of it? Or make her realize how cruel it is? I'm only 15, and because of that, I basically don't get a say in it, as much as I've been objecting to it. My grandparents cat started biting after he got declawed, and he's a mean, asshole cat now.
