Yeah, I feel as though it is not really humane to have cats declawed. Many vets that I know of will only do it as a last resort - for example, if the owners will get rid of the cat unless the vet agrees. It is rather painful for the cats during the healing process.
Also, if the cat every got out of the house and got into an altercation with another cat, they would be severely limited when it comes to defending themselves. That is why I would not consider declawing my cat, ever. A well-disciplined cat has no need to be declared.
