Declawing a British Shorthair is an intense procedure called a onychectomy, performed with anesthesia, that removes the claw of each toe (from the first knuckle out) of the British Shorthair’s forepaw. There is a small possibility of a fatality in the procedure, and a declawed British Shorthair might have an increased risk of infection and permanent discomfort in her paws. This operation is not advised for an adult British Shorthair and is labeled an act of animal cruelty in some countries (as shown below).
