Declawing cats is animal abuse it really fucks them up mentally. And you shouldn't wash a cat unless they've gotten into something messy, they do a fine job on their own.
Counter point: Old cats tend to not be able to groom themselves as well and require baths, which can be stressful for them
If you bath your cat regularly, and from a young age, it will become an habit, and be less stressful the moment you actually need to wash them
Declawing is animal abuse tho. Still on your side here
Once my cat turned 20 she needed dust baths, it's not that she didn't like the water (she liked the warmth) but rather that she couldn't groom her fur back straight and refused to allow me to brush her coat to straight, so she'd get matted otherwise.
She had an extra (clean) litterbox that I'd bring down out of storage for her to roll in that was full of diatomaceous earth and baking soda.
Sweet dusty cat, I miss her.
Edit: I didn't pay the cat Tax, this is the sweet baby at 22
It also fucks them up physically, how would you like your fingertips removed at the first joint? 'Cause that's what you're doing to them!
(Not you you, the royal you, you you know what I I mean lol).
more precisely - how would you like to have your fingertips removed at the first joint and have to walk on them for the rest of your life?
it is not abuse, it is straight up torture.
You you you you you you oughta know!!!!
Everything is wrong with this comic!
Judge: 40 minutes of bath! Without the parole possibility!
