It subtly insinuates that cats being declawed is the norm and that cats with claws are a deviation from that norm
No, it doesn’t. Declawing was a common thing to do and it’s still legal in most places. It’s not that unusual to find rescue cats that have been declawed.
it’s also harmful and atrocious to force that deviation upon them.
Yes, for the 10th time in this thread, literally no one here has suggested otherwise.
The top-level comment was an attempt to normalize the mutilation of pets
Not it’s not, it was an observation of the absence of a still relatively commonly seen occurrence. If they really cared cats, then a simple correction would have sufficed, rather than bringing attention to themselves with passive aggressive shittiness.

Exactly, all the more reason to call it out when you see language that normalizes it.

Oh, you want to question whether someone really cares about cats? Someone who actually called out language that was attempting to normalize declawing, while you’re the one rushing to defend that language? I don’t think so.

You’re the one doing that by arguing on the same side as the rhe people saying things like “do you go around looking for reasons to be offended” and “some people make impotent rage their identity.”
