Some People Have A Big Problem With Declawing A Cat What Are Some Of Your Views On This Issue? 
 I think it's fine, if you don't want to have your furniture torn up, and they will do it. Also if the cat is going to be an indoor cat only. I would only do the front ones though. If your cat is going to be indoor and outdoor, then I would recommend that you leave the claws. Hope this helps, good luck. |

Declawing is actually an amputation of the last joint of your cat's "toes". When you envision that, it becomes clear why declawing is not a humane act. It is a painful surgery, with a painful recovery period. And remember that during the time of recuperation from the surgery your cat would still have to use its feet to walk, jump, and scratch in its litter box regardless of the pain it is experiencing. This is not a surgery to be taken lightly. Amputating the important part of their anatomy that contains the claws drastically alters the conformation of their feet. Soft Paws are lightweight vinyl nail caps that you glue on the cat's front claws. They're great for households with small children and are extremely useful for people who are away from home all day and can't exercise the watchfulness necessary to train a cat to use a scratching post. Soft Paws® are easy to apply and last about four to six weeks. They come in clear or colors--
