Neutering and declawing cats

Even though my Grandfather neutured his own cats. Putting them in a burlap sack which to me would be very painful. (he put them in a sack so they would scratch his eyeballs out) I would suggest going to a licensed vet because "declawing" is not natural and it can come with a lot of complications.  P.S. He also would catch young bull calves and put rubber bands on their testicals so due to lack of circulation they would fall off eventually.

I know farmers sort pigs etc out for themselves but the laws are different as pigs are livestock and cats are pets. declawing is a pretty drastic and nast procedure anyway which involves the removal of the end of the toe bone - you don't want Joe Bloggs from down the road doing that. If you are not prepared to pay the vet bills to trteat your animal properly then give the animal up to someone who is.

Only a vet is qualified to perform this surgery..because it IS surgery. Declawing is painful, best done when young, at same time as neutering (only one anesthetic fee, less overall trauma.) ALL cats should be beutered unless you are a real professional breeder..they are much happier and less messy, especially the males who will "squirt" stinky urine to mark territory if not fixed. Femaile not fixed will go into heat repeatedly until impregnated..a real yowling torture for them, so do it! Legally, any pet owner can have these procedures done on their own pets. You cannot have it done legally to another's pets, you can only recommend. Many localities now have neutering laws in place because so many stray animals are a nusiance and a heartbreak because they must eventually be destroyed, and wild cats are murder on songbirds...
