I was doing the cleaning last night and found a claw on the carpet by the bedroom door. I suspect one of the boys was trying to wake us up for breakfast and managed to pull it out (ouch). I checked both of them and it looks like Sherlock is missing his thumb claw (dew claw?) on his front paw.
He's not bothered by it at all, isn't limping or in any discomfort...do I assume he's fine therefore? I've read de-clawing cats is torturous but he seems to have taken it in his stride! As long as there's no infection, can I just ignore it?
PS. It was very hard not putting any puns about Claws/Clause in this thread!
