    Posted by u/kamrydraws 10 days ago My landlord asked me to declaw the baby. I'm losing it lol Cat Picture

    Sometimes, we read stories like these, and we cannot believe that audacity that some landlords have. Seriously, we have heard of some silly requests from landlords, but this one is straight up cruel, and we hope, truly, that this landlord is simply unaware of what declawing means to a cat’s life, and that when/if you explain, they will be decent and understanding.

    But just in case they are not understanding about it… then we support all the other comments under this thread. Move, lie, doesn’t matter, just don’t hurt this poor, adorable baby kitty that did absolutely nothing wrong.

    Do people not understand the cruelty? I'm not understanding. Not only would I never ask my vet to declaw him (isn't it illegal now?) I wouldn't even go to a vet that offers declawing.

    Then my friend stayed with me for a few days, and she's never been within 20 feet of a furry animal. So she was terrified of my little Ooshy. Then she kept suggesting I cut his whiskers because they're

    Then my family members told me not to neuter him because it goes against Gods will and mutilates His creation.

    Ooshy has had an interesting week. We're not declawing, his whiskers are perfect, and neutering is scheduled for September

    nalathequeen2186 · 10 days ago Everyone is already tearing apart how horrible the declawing thing is so I'll just say: who the says you should cut a cat's whiskers?! They grow that long for a reason! 3.7k Reply Share

    dairy-intolerant · 10 days ago My mom said my cat's whiskers are too long and asked if we should cut them, but she'd also never grown up around cats or been near them before I got him. Same with declawing. Lots of people just don't know anything about cats. I explained to her why neither should ever be done to a cat and she never brought it up again.

    It's not just cats either. Dogs are also often mutilated for no good reason (cropping ears and tails). It's just misinformation and lack of education 1.0k Reply Share

    Lilbooplantthang. 10 days ago Yeah and I'm sure most vets would be willing to write a letter as to why that's cruel and why won't do it. 422 Reply Share

    kamrydraws OP. 10 days ago The lease doesn't say anything about declawing or pet deposits. It just says I'm responsible for any damage he does to the property. According to the superintendent's inspection last month, there is 0 damage to the apt and we passed with flying colors. And the superintendent loved Ooshy so I can't imagine him reporting anything to the landlord

    He's also already an ESA prescribed by a Dr, so she can't ask me to mutilate him in the first place. And I called the vet anyway to talk about this, and she offered to write a letter to the landlord explaining why they refuse to do this procedure. After several emails and phone calls the issue hasn't been brought up again, so I'm hoping this matter is open and closed 161 Reply Share

    kamrydraws OP 10 days ago Yeah I love my vet. It became the talk of the clinic because the vet techs were shocked at the request. The vet techs even offered to call the landlord to hash it out personally. I'm not worried about it anymore lol

    RachelxoxLove · 10 days ago Your landlord is asking you to do something illegal in most places. I would hire a tenant rights lawyer, and/or look into a new place for living. Sorry you're surrounded by idiots. Stay strong. You're doing the right things!! 2.9k Reply Share
