Reply to comment by BF_2 in NJ legislature advances bill banning the barbaric practice of removing cat claws by rollotomasi07071

Step 1: give them other shit to scratch

Step 2, and this one’s the big one: anything your cat can reach, it will probably mess with at some point. And that’s okay.

It ain’t rocket surgery. Cats need to scratch stuff to exercise and shed their claws, otherwise they’ll become ingrown.

Seriously if you get a cat expect it to act like a cat. This is like people who get rodents and are annoyed they chew everything

I'm just confused what they mean by rocket surgery you fucking nonce. Has it ever occurred that not everyone uses the same backwards terms that originated in the slimy shithole of Bumfuck Yipee Kansas? No, just give vague answers and then call me an idiot will ya?

Also you can and should keep your indoor cat’s claws trimmed, especially if you have a polydactyl/“Hemingway cat.” Their claws can get too long and get caught on things, which may result in injury to the cat. In the case of polydactyls, the claws that grow on their bonus toes can grow in funny ways, sometimes resulting in them being ingrown and again hurting the cat. (My polydactyl has one claw that would grow in a perfect circle if left to its own devices.)
