Declawing is illegal here - I'd never actually heard of the practise until a few months ago.
Honestly, I can't imagine why somebody would do that to their cat. Claws aren't just there for decoration, they're for defence and they're necessary for cats to jump and run safely. My landing is covered in claw marks from where Wren makes the turn at high speeds - she needs them for traction on hard surfaces. I've got claw marks on the worktops where she's missed jumps and used her claws to grip and drag her body up.
Yes, she scratches the furniture too, but that's one of the down sides of having a cat.
No. Don't do it. Ever.
