Dental clawing a cat is basically cutting off the End-Knuckle of the individual toes. Just like cutting off the tips of your fingers because you do not like finger nails. Don't Do It, Please.
If you are thinking of declawing a cat, you are taking a way their defenses against attack if they ever get outdoors. It is mean and cruel to maim an animal by cutting off their toes. You didnt really want a cat, did you?
To declaw a cat is the last resort hopefully. I work with ferals and try to socialize and get adopted as many as possible. Many in the colony around my home are Hemingway or polydactyl. Extra toed. This also affects paw growth, joint growth, and causes a lot of paw and claw problems. Dr. Dunham has been the strongest supporter of my rehoming and adoption efforts, and his advice for even one with congenital forepaw and foreleg deformities was to leave them natural, give them a high quality protein diet, a good scratching post or pad for their familial and territorial scratching needs, Taking away a defensive mechanism and prey capturer that s retractable defeats the purpose of them having been gifted with them. If they are baring their claws, its usually from agitation, excitement, or what you may be doing brings out predator prey instincts. Sir William, all 17 pounds of him will roughhouse play with myself and others without baring. Its all in how they learn from you, their guardian.
They have animal plans how old is animal know it includes shots and getting fixed not sure about getting de clawed
