A unanimous vote in the Berkeley City Council chambers yesterday has banned the procedure of cat declawing in all veterinary clinics within the city limits. Violators could face a $1,000 fine or six months in the slammer. It’s cat justice, baby.

Moral of the story? Kittens are people too, people. And your brand new upholstered couch just happens to be the best darn scratching post this side of the Mason-Dixon Line. Deal with it: this is kitteh territoreh.
