I have had a number of cats over the years, although I am catless now. I never had one declawed, especially after reading up on it and discovering what declawing actually was. I kept their nails trimmed and I discovered that over the years, the quick receded and their need to claw did less and less damage to furniture, ect. Plus their favorite scratching post was a piece of log that was flat on the side that sat on the floor so it was stable when they scratched on it. I had several other scratching devices in my house including one that hung from a door knob that was also very popular. I also read that when a cat is declawed a lot of the time their toes remained very tender and they would no longer use the litter box because it hurt.
