Who are the sick fucks declawing cats for therapy
Maybe this is what they’re referencing
I was just riffing on the ambiguous article headline. Like it's okay to declaw cats as long as it's for therapeutic reasons (for the owner)
Therapeutic literally means "relating to the healing of disease" though.
Do you think therapy dogs are giving therapy to other dogs?
Actually they do this, too!
They do to cheetahs
Yes, words can have multiple meanings. That's why God made puns!
Yeah my parents back in the days had a lot of cats, and one of them had to have the claws taken off one paw. 😢
I read that to mean "for feline medical reasons." If kitty has some injury or illness of the paw that necessitates amputation, that's a valid reason. To prevent scratching up the furniture is not.
I like to take the claws and put them in a furry gauntlet to use for… science.
My mother-in-law's cat almost got either declawed or euthanised when he started having epileptic seizures and attacking her face. It wasn't intentional, he was an affectionate and gentle cat when he wasn't seizing. Luckily, he seemed to grow out of it.
