When should i get my kitten declawed and nudered2007-11-25 12:30:11Answers:

don't do the declaw, thats terrible

even neutered is not nice either, it's really mean

The word is "neutered". Ask the vet. And don't get the cat declawed---that is cruel and unnecessary. It isn't just removing the claws, you know---it's really amputating part of the cat's foot.

Call a vets office for professional advice.

i think my cat was 3 months when i had him fixed and de-clawed. i see nothing wrong with doing the front claws. but just in case they ever get out, keep the back claws. then again, its your cat, do whatever you want.

i'd just call the humane society (aka pound) and ask whens the best time to get it fixed-i'm sure they'll be more than happy to answer

declawing is contraversial

Declawing should be a criminal offense on the grounds of animal cruelty. I hate the idea of neutering a poor creature that does not have any vote in the matter, but it is a good idea. My vet explained that while I may have a problem with it, the animal will be much happier without all those raging urges to reproduce. And as far as cats go, mating is a painful proposition. A tomcat will risk a lot of pain from all the other competing tomcats that will fight it for the right to reproduce with a female in heat. So he will come home all bloody and will incur vet bills, and he may not even have been successful in his efforts. So, neuter, yes, declaw NO!!

you can get them neutered about 4 months of age but definitely by 6 months coz they can reproduce then. please don't declaw. it is a painful toe amputation and then they have to walk around on those painful stubs til they heal. its very painful and cruel. imagine if you had the your fingertips cut off then had to type all day, see the pain? you can buy 'soft paws' online. they are plastic caps that fit over the nails.

Generally males are neutered when the testicles have descended, but now there is a new technique employed by most Humane Societies that can do it as early as newborn. Declawing should be done as soon as possible. Most people feel strongly against declawing. It is a nasty procedure, but if your kitty is destroying things and you really want to keep it.do what ya gotta do! I have 4, all declawed by 11 weeks. It was really sad and I felt terrible, but they got over it and they still love me 10 and 11 years later!

I think what you really want is a stuffed animal.

Don't get the cat declawed.it's unnecessary.
