I am not by any means an advocate for declawing. In fact none of my kitties have ever been declawed. I think for the most part if you give them the proper equipment, scratching posts ect... you should never have a problem. However if it comes down to the kitty destroying everything in site and the client turning over the cat to the pound, (providing this is a good client who I know takes excellent care of the cat and the kitty is an inside kitty only), I think you have to make a very difficult choice. A good, safe home, or possible death. What an awful decision to have to make but I would rather see a cat with a home, warmth, food and love than without. As a side note, if the decision to declaw is made, try to find a clinic who will do it with laser (much less painful, and no nasty bandage changings needed) as well as appropriate pain management.
