Two days later, its sister committee in the Assembly moved 82 of its bills in under two minutesto the same secretive, uncertain future. If history is any guide, between a quarter to a third of those bills will be killed next month.

A proposal to ban veterinarians from surgically removing claws from cats seems like it would be an easy sell for California lawmakers, several of whom lovingly describe their pets in their official biography pages.
