“California just banned a common procedure on cats that some animal rights advocates have called inhumane. Assembly Bill 867 from Assemblymember Alex Lee, a Democrat from San Jose, will prevent veterinarians from declawing cats, a procedure that typically involves amputating the bone in a cat’s toe or severing tendons used to extend the claws. Newsom signed the bill Thursday afternoon. Millions of cat owners have declawed their felines in the United States, usually to prevent the pets from destroying furniture or scratching humans.” (10/10/25)
