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.
Declawing = the amputation of your kittens' toes. It is very painful and can lead to problems, such as bleeding, infection, pain, avoidance of litter boxes (pain again!) and biting. Claws are cats' primary form of defense.
