I totally agree with the posters who are against declawing a cat. I have four cats now, none are declawed. They don't scratch my furniture and if I see them go towards a chair, I yell "no" and take them to the scratching post. Now it's all they use.
If a person wants to adopt a cat and has this in mind, consider adopting a small dog instead.
IMHO, it's the most inhumane thing you can do to a helpless animal that has no voice or no decision making option. Ask a human if she or he wants to have their fingers amputated. What do you think the answer would be?
