Before the Tacoma City Council voted to ban cat declawing except when medically necessary, a leader said the time was right to "choose cats, not couches."

      Once you learn what it is, it’s hard to condone.

      I feel the same about tail and ear docking, though with certain dogs (boxers I hear get repeated tail injuries) it seems there are still some legit reasons.

      If want a cat, it’s going to scratch, it’s their nature. Why would you want a cat if you don’t like basic cat behavior?
