It doesn't happen to all, but most. A lot of times it happens and your vet will tell you that there is a uti or bladder infection just so they don't have to tell you that its from the cat being declawed because they know these problems can occur and never tell you before surgery so they get your money and the vet down the road doesn't. i work at an animal shelter and 95% of declawed cats that come through there have one of these behavioral problems and never end up going to another home as compared to the 1% of clawed cats with these problems. You may have gotten that little percentile with your 10 year old but you never know if your younger won't develop these issues in a year or two. I personally don't see a need to declaw your cat and take the chance especially when you are putting them through pain. Spend the two dollars on nail clippers
