Over our time being both cat owners and writers at ICHC, we have to say that we have heard some crazy stories about people and their lack of understanding when it comes to cats. We have heard everything from people refusing to eat at their friend's house because they have a cat, to a man asking his roommate to stop kissing her cat, all the way to a boyfriend telling his girlfriend she's unhygienic because of the affection she shows her cat. Just- ridiculous stuff. And yet, this story still somehow surprised us.
the landlord asking his tenant to declaw their cat is bad enough, but everything else - the friend asking them to cut the cat's whiskers, the parents telling them not to neuter their cat because "it's against god's will" - and all of it happening in one week… Ooshy and his owners have had a rough one. Thankfully, they kept their heads on their shoulders.

Sometimes, we read stories like these, and we cannot believe that audacity that some landlords have. Seriously, we have heard of some silly requests from landlords, but this one is straight up cruel, and we hope, truly, that this landlord is simply unaware of what declawing means to a cat's life, and that when/if you explain, they will be decent and understanding.
But just in case they are not understanding about it… then we support all the other comments under this thread. Move, lie, doesn't matter, just don't hurt this poor, adorable baby kitty that did absolutely nothing wrong.
