In many instances one or more claws will begin to regrow causing extreme pain, or if either the trimmer is dull or the cat's nail is brittle, the bone may shatter. Because declawed cats are denied their main source of defense they tend to bite when they feel threatened. Shelters are also often forced to euthanize declawed cats that have been given up because of this type of behaviour. To scratch, to defend.

A declawed cat can easily be injured during a fall because it is unable to grasp and hold it'self in place. Sites depicting any type of hate, abuse, or pornography are not admitted.
