Ragdoll Cats

Declawing is a major surgery known as onychectomy, performed under general anesthesia, by which  the tip of each digit (from the first knuckle out) of the cat’s forepaws is removed.

There is a slight chance of death in the surgery, & a declawed cat may have an increased risk of infection & life-long discomfort in its paws.

This surgery is not recommended for an adult animal & is thought about an act of animal cruelty in some countries.

People generally have felines declawed to prevent them from hunting &damaging furniture. Only in rare cases, vicious felines are declawed. In the USA, some landlords require tenants’ felines to be declawed.

Ragdolls don’t usually need declawing as they are calm and understand when being told not to to something.
