EASTON, Pa. – Easton City Council approved an ordinance modifying language involving the declawing of cats Wednesday night at the College Hill Presbyterian Church.
The ordinance, offered by Councilwoman Taiba Sultana, modified a new chapter in the city's code regulating declawing of cats. The change involves a tendonectomy or another surgical procedure by which the tendons of a cat's limbs, paws or toes are cut or modified so that the cat's claws "are prevented from functioning normally."
The bill also clarified language involving therapeutic declawing, which is permitted if done for a cat's health.
