American Cats movie on cat declawing

American Cats - The Good, The Bad and The Cuddly

 

“American Cats” Movie


“American Cats: The Good, The Bad, and The Cuddly”: The film is a production of Clawson & Clawson Cinematics, LLC. The film presents a withering takedown of US veterinary trade associations, which should be advocating animal wellness, but instead perpetuate the lie that declawing is a harmless and necessary procedure. Correspondent Amy Hoggart (“Full Frontal with Samantha Bee”) with Paw Project veterinarians and animal advocates bring viewers along on a journey to uncover the truth about the profit-driven motivation for advocating this needless and barbaric procedure, which can have devastating effects on cats.

“American Cats: The Good, The Bad, and The Cuddly” had its official world premiere at the Hot Docs Film Festival in Toronto on April 28, with an encore screening on April 29, 2024. Hots Docs is the biggest documentary film festival in North America.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

1. Post on your social media about “American Cats: The Good, The Bad, and The Cuddly” and why declawing is never a good idea.

2. Spread the word about the horrors of declawing at your community gatherings, in school, or book group.

3. Call your veterinarians and ask them to join the Paw Project as a “no declaw” veterinarian. If they still declaw, ask them to stop or you will be changing vets. You want to only use humane veterinarians.

4. Join the Paw Project mailing list so we can contact you when we need your support for legislation in your area.

5. Ask your local politicians to ban declawing (Paw Project will be happy to help write the legislation to make sure it’s thorough).

6. If you know of any declawed cats, have the local No-Declaw vet contact Paw Project to get educated on how to evaluate their paws.

7. Donate to Paw Project.

 

AMERICAN CATS:
SYNOPSIS

Cat declawing is an inhumane and unnecessary surgical procedure that is banned in most of the world’s industrialized countries. However, it is both legal and all-too-common in the United States. Why is that? British-American correspondent Amy Hoggart (“Full Frontal with Samantha Bee”) investigates the controversy that pits ethically-minded veterinarians, activists, and pet owners against a powerful industry lobby that promotes and profits from a surgical operation that can have profoundly negative physical and psychological effects on our feline friends.

Hoggart navigates a maze of misinformation that characterizes declawing as a benign intervention to thwart a cat’s natural instinct to scratch and claw. Surely, there are less gratuitously gruesome ways to curb unwanted behavior short of amputating your cat’s toes, aren’t there? Indeed, there are.

American Cats is a satirical but thought-provoking documentary that challenges the ethical implications of our choices. The film’s message appeals to our common sense and – hopefully – our better angels when it comes to making healthcare decisions for our feline companions.
