oh, i think declawing is a personal choice-OH! but BUT BUT you are amoputating their toes!!!!
my childhood pair were 4 paw declawed. they were strictly inside cats. it saved furniture as well as laps. best lap cats ever. my cousin's cat had all here claws. indoor outdoor and was a bitch to pet when it sat on you digging its claws in your thighs when happy.also when she was elderly inside only, poor thing would get her claws stuck in the rug and it was just sad seeing her try and pull them out.
sure their paws hurt the 1st day or so, usually, but they get over it and frankly i think they have way more trauma when you try and trim the nails. cause you have to.(heck, i did it for a guinee pig when i happened to visit my uncle when they were babysitting their daughters class pet. i can't endure suffering animals. poor thing).
considering how wild my 'spares' are, i think it was best. poor pansy.
i just like declawed. they don't really care. they still 'scratch'. it's much more pleasant now when sybil 'scratches' our legs. and if you have nice furniture, why bother trying to alter nature?
by the way the best scratching post is a 1 1/2 high 1 1/2 foot wide log section. my grandparent's susie's post.
