Absolutely DO NOT get your cat declawed. It's a horrible and painful
process. Some cats never recover, emotionally. Some suffer horrible
infections after the surgery.

Horsefeathers! As long as the vet's name isn't Dr. Mengele, the
cats will hardly notice. I've had three cats done recently (past
two years) and a few more *years* ago. No problems with any. The
most recent didn't even stop climbing and jumping after the
surgery. They were groggy (neutered at the same time) the first
day and slept but by the second they were bouncing all over the
house, as usual. They've never been outside, but front claws
aren't cat's main defense anyway. They're more or less a warning
of things to come.

I suppose you don't support neutering cats either? After all, some
cats will get infections from any surgery and may never "recover"
emotionally from neutering either (the plan, actually ;-).
