I just got a kitten and I was planning to get it declawed mainly because I don't want it scratching me! I dont care about my furniture. BUt then I was reading about a larger proportion of declawed cats compared to clawed cats develop behavioral problems and litter box problems. So I've decided to just accept the cat scratches, I've had a 4 foot iguana who would scratch me up pretty by just by walking across my arm. Also, I don't like the thought of just stealing away apart of my cat's body and it not knowing where the hell it went.

ps. the cat and the bird are getting along fairly well. I think the cat is beginning to lose interest in the bird.
