In all fairness, that was the only truely loopy cat I've ever known. It was cat-preservation for that one!

Otherwise, I will only advocate de-clawing for defective claws. These happen far more often that I would like to believe, too. (We do rescue, taking in the infant orphans and bottling them.) We've had litters with defective claws, and individual kits with malfunctioning claws. Oddly enough, these failed to thrive. I don't know what the connection is, but we haven't succeeded with any of these. It's very frustrating. We feed, rub down, keep warm, keep cuddled just like we do with all of our little orphans, but these don't make it. No one we've talked to knows why, either.
