While growing up, all my cats were declawed. I recently purchased my own kittens and am planning on having them declawed shortly. I think that it is a good idea for an indoor cat and I am tired of reading everybody's complaints about the procedure. Specifically:
1. Certainly it can be no more humane to have an animal spayed/neutered than declawed. An animals instincts to procreate are certainly on par with the instinct to climb. Regardless of what others have written, I have never seen any difference in the post-op pain from a spay/neuter versus a declaw.
2. Is it better to constantly reprimand your pet and keep them from their natural instincts of playing with you, climbing on furniture, and attacking the curtains? Wouldn't it be better to let your cat act out their natural instincts on a daily basis, without the damage to yourself, your friends, or your possessions?
I have never had anything less than a blissfully happy cats - and not one has had front claws.
