> Declawing can leave cats with a painful healing process, long-term health issues, and numerous behavior problems. This is especially unfortunate because declawing is an owner-elected procedure and unnecessary for the vast majority of cats.
my parents had one declawed cat. She did have a hard time healing, poor thing, and developed behavioral problems later in life, much like her owners.
I just want to say that fortunately my current cat is not displaying any pathology related to her paws.
I also would like to reiterate that we adopted her from the animal shelter, and she came declawed from her former owners.

I don't think I would ever declaw a cat. They could never defend themselves if they ran outside by accident. Plus, it does hurt them a lot and take a long time to recover. (((((declawedkitties)))))
