The problem with this is that you could say this about any pain/disadvantage and apply it to any living creature.

The next person to prevent a cat from ever escaping will be the first. My childhood cat had no claws, got out of the house, <u>and</u> kicked ass versus other cats. However, he would get beat up pretty good from time to time because he didn't have his front claws. Who would want to handicap their pet like that? I didn't even know about the lifelong posture issues. Those of you with dogs might be familiar with how much that hurts an animal.

Alex also brought home small birds and mice as presents to my mom. She didn't think that was as cool as we did. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
