Read this part from me again.

>"It's stupid, and a majority of cat owners like to dump their cats when they do start to have problems."

Stuff like declawing happens because owners do not want their cats tearing up their furniture. But cats clawing furniture is a natural reaction to them as they do this for a number of reasons. When cats do get declawed emotional problems can start developing that can lead to cat abandonment. Everything I just said was the responsibility of the owner.

Tattooing a cat falls into this "I don't know what will happen" because it's uncommon. If problems do start showing up with the cat it is far more likely the owners will just abandon the cat. If problems do start this entire situation could have been avoided if the owners just didn't do this. If you're a pet owner I don't know why you'd want to make things harder for yourself and making stupid actions.

It crosses the line because it's human vanity. It's the idea that we should be allowed to do whatever we want with an animal because they're "ours" and we're above them. It's disrespectful and sociopathic behavior and precisely the reason why pets get abandoned because it's treating them as disposable objects that they use and get their fun from.
