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.

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.
