Summary: Advances in information technology and recent national directives have the potential to support dramatic improvements in health care. Two key components are the implementation of functional electronic health record (EHR) systems and widely accepted, evidence-based clinical performance measures for physicians.
In 2009, The Paw Project led the successful campaigns to legally ban declawing of domestic cats in 7 more California cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Burbank, Santa Monica, Berkeley, Beverly Hills and Culver City.
You can declaw your cat if you want, but just to let you know that they are actually apmutating the first digit of the cat's toes when they declaw them. The Truth About Declawing Declawing is an inhumane, unnecessary procedure that has many alternatives. It is never in the cat's best interest. don't know where declawing cats is illegal. Some people are strongly against it though. My opinion supported by experience is that if you go to a reputable vet, it is fine to declaw your cat. It should stay overnight at the vet's office so that when you take your cat home its' paws will not still be bleeding.
