Declawing a Oriental is a major operation known as onychectomy, performed using anesthesia, that removes the claw of each digit (from the first knuckle out) of the Oriental’s forepaws. There’s a remote possibility of a fatality during the procedure, and a declawed Oriental may experience an increased risk of infection and long-term displeasure in her paws. This operation is not advised for a full-grown Oriental and is considered an act of animal cruelty in some places (as below).
