I agree with you. I have 2 cats that are declawed and 8 that are not, not counting the ferals that are here for taming. They of course, have their claws too. I would always much rather a cat have a loving home and no claws than be put at the pound with claws. And lets face it, some cats are more destructive than others. My siamese ( one of the declaws) would literally climb the wall and hang by 3 feet and use the other one to remove my wallpaper, she refused to think about using a scratching post no matter what it was covered with, nor would she use the cardboard ones and no one had invented those little claw cover thingys at that point. Finally with a heavy heart, I made the decision to have her claws removed. She was destroying my house. My Vet is wonderful and she has had no problems whatso ever. Very little pain after and she still manages to bop the other cats if they so much as look at her wrong. Still is a champion fly and spider catcher too
