Declawing a cat is something awful. Taking away something that is natural to them, that is so necessary for their well-being is an action that cat owners should avoid as much as they possibly can. It's simply not right! We do understand the struggle of some cat owners with cats that are more feisty than most and who always, always, always, scratch their furniture.

Still, there are other options available for preventing your cat from destroying your furniture outside of declawing them, and this Twitter thread by @KikiDoodleTweet that is going viral gives you all of the alternatives- with videos to support their statements and links to items that you can purchase.

So, read this thread, get informed, and forward it to anyone who needs to read it as well. This cat enthusiast went out of their way to provide what sounds like perfectly useful information for other cat owners out there: hopefully it helps some people with their cats!
