Maryland Says No to Cat Declawing—Finally!

Ever looked at your cat’s paws and thought, "How could anyone mess with these tiny murder mittens?" Well, Maryland just made it official: declawing cats is now banned. About time, right? Declawing isn’t just a fancy manicure—it’s literally amputating part of their toes. Ouch. For years, people did it to save their furniture, but at what cost? Imagine someone chopping off your fingertips because you scratched the couch. As a lifelong cat person, I’ve seen the aftermath: cats limping, hiding, or just not being themselves. It’s heartbreaking. Maryland’s move is a win for animal lovers everywhere, and honestly, it’s a reminder to respect our pets as the weird, wonderful little roommates they are. So, here’s to more happy, healthy paws—and maybe a few more scratched sofas. Worth it? Absolutely. #CatLovers #PetCare #AnimalRights #Pets #Cats
