AITA for stealing my sisters cat because she wants to declaw him?

I (24M) took my sister’s (22F) cat home with me tonight because I overheard her talking to our mum.

She was planning to get her 1-year-old cat an appointment to declaw him!

This man doesn’t think his sister knows how bad declawing a cat is.

I was outraged, but I didn’t say anything.

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

I don’t think she knows it’s illegal.

She doesn’t get the physical, emotional, and psychological harm it does to them.

He took her cat impulsively.

I don’t even own a pet, but I could never imagine taking them to go and get mutilated all because you don’t like your sofas getting scratched?

I don’t know what to do.

I acted on impulse.

He was protecting the cat.

She’s going to know in a day or two that he’s “gone missing.”

I just can’t let her do this to him, but we don’t get on.

She wouldn’t listen to me even if I tried to educate her.

Now, he feels guilty about taking him.

He’s chilling on my sofa at the moment and he’s so cute (I’m a dog person).

I feel guilty for essentially catnapping him, but she would be breaking a law for one since we live in the UK, and it’s just downright irresponsible.

He should really let his sister know that it’s illegal.
