Please do not declaw your cats!!!

I'm sure you have all been hearing about state laws voting on making it illegal to have your cats declawed....please side with them on this!!! I know alot of you are probably think"Well my cat is an indoor cat and never goes outside". The reason I am so into this law being made is...if for some reason your cat would happen to get oudoors on accident, without their claws...they haveno means of deffense for temselves. I personally have seen cats who were declawed, and accidentally got outside and when the owners did finally find them, they were severly mangled and beaten up from other cats or animals. With out their claws they are basically rendered helpless while on there own. I understand that it is the owners choice to have this procedure done, but I am just asking you to please keep this in mind if you were thing of having your family cat declawed.
