Question for cat owners.

Say, if a cat is declawed in the front and someone really pisses it off, could, or would it scratch you with it's back claws?

 

[StitchfansJr]

That never happens with any of my cats. Only one of my cats are declawed. She's so stupid, she forgets that she doesn't have any front claws. Though, all of my cats aren't that much of the type of cats who would claw people. They might bite, but I'm not sure.
EDIT: Thanks Keek. That reminds me, from somewhere on a site, it said that it really hurts for the cats if they get declawed.

My cat isn't declawed and does that.

My cat is an indoor cat and it has it's claws. She rarely ever uses her claws except on her clawing boards. Even while I am playing around with her she will play bite, but rarely bring out the claws.

 

[BandGeek911]

Yep.
Mine does.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

YES.

My cat,Romeo bites my hand and then kicks with his back claws.
He's given me about 20 scars on my right hand from his back claws.

Well. my cat bear will get angry if you go near his nails, for fear of pain like the last time someone went near him.

I didn't get him de-clawed, we got him after.

He always smacks you. its hilarious. Its like a slap, it doesn't hurt, but it makes a loud noise. XD

Get that on tape, Jamie. That'd be funny.

 

[Jasmine45]

No it would bite you or slap.

In my personal opinion De-clawing cats is cruel. They cut off the toes up to the last knuckle. =(

Man, declawing cats is like the cruelest thing you could do to an animal (Besides like abusing them)! I mean seriously it's like if someone were to laser your fingers off!

And I'm sure the cat would kick you if he/she got angry enough. My cat will kick when he's playing with his toys but he's not declawed.

And I know you didn't ask my opinion on declawing but if you're thinking of declawing your cat you shouldn't there's so much else you can do, like buy those claw caps or spray where your cat is scratching with vinegar (cats hate the smell).

And if you're just worried about your cat scratching you, don't because cats don't usually scratch unless you make them mad (just don't make them angry!), and even when they do it doesn't hurt and I've never heard of anyone getting an infected cat scratch.

Here, this is from Wikipedia:

"This process involves amputating all or part of the distal phalanx, or end bone, of the animal's toes — the equivalent of cutting off the end of a human finger at its first joint — under anaesthesia, and is popularly known as declawing.

Declawing is rare outside of North America, being considered an act of animal cruelty in many Western countries.:

 

[Sparx]

it wouldn't scratch you with its back.

But its incredibly cruel to declaw a cat. claws are like its fingers. woudl you cut your fingers off? How about your toes? How much sensation would you lose? Its really like just cutting someones fingers off at the second knuckle.

I know declawing cats is cruel.
I don't own a cat, and I probably won't for a long time (my mother is allergic to cats).
It's just, my friend, he claims that he doesn't cut himself (he has cuts all the way up his arm) and says his cat did it. When I found out from another friend that his cat is declawed, I asked him about it. He said that cat was only declawed in the front and would attack him with his hind legs. He claims it's a vicious beast that hates him.

That is why I was asking.

Technically, the cat would only claw him if he had the cat on its back (his hand on its stomach) and it did a death claw. (where the cat squeezes with its front feet and then claws with its back. used to kill birds and stuff like that)
