Before the Tacoma City Council voted to ban cat declawing except when medically necessary, a leader said the time was right to "choose cats, not couches."
The procedure can be medically necessary in certain cases, like when a cat has a cancerous tumor or has severely injured a paw. But Tacoma’s ban won’t interfere with surgeries like that, the council’s release said.
Maybe this is what they’re referencing
I was just riffing on the ambiguous article headline. Like it’s okay to declaw cats as long as it’s for therapeutic reasons (for the owner)
Therapeutic literally means “relating to the healing of disease” though.
Yes, words can have multiple meanings. That’s why God made puns!
Do you think therapy dogs are giving therapy to other dogs?
Actually they do this, too!
They do to cheetahs
Yeah my parents back in the days had a lot of cats, and one of them had to have the claws taken off one paw. 😢
