I'm glad I found these. (Without going into some long flame war about it being inhumane and all that, this is my experience with declawing.) I hated to have to get Snoopy declawed, but he has the potential to a) cause us trouble with the landlord, cause he's already ruined a bit of the upstairs wall, which I have to figure out how to fix, and b) he's starting to pull up loops of the from the hallway carpet. Yelling and spraying hasn't worked yet, and that left declawing, which I've had done to an indoor cat in the past. It was horribly painful, I am sure, I felt so sorry for him, but I loved him more, and if it wasn't done, he'd of had to go to the pound. (I was young, he attacked my sister by accident, he was destroying the furniture.) So declawed he got. After the initial 2 weeks, he rebounded and was just like himself, still loved us, still purred, lived a good long life. But,we won't have to go through with that for Snoopy, as he now has nice pink plastic nails. Now he just needs to be neutered. ;) Erika (with a *K*) "Life... is like a grapefruit.
