Ya know, I'm sorry to say it, BUT I have to agree with the declawing of cats. I myself have 3 indoor cats and the wife wanted them declawed, but yet I heard about how bad it was, so I dragged my feet with it and fought to keep their claws and tried and tried to stop them from clawing at stuff, they had scratching posts, the spray that's supposed to detour them, cardboard things you hang off the door handles, toys up the ass, I cut their nails often, and I always sprayed them when I saw them scratching something.
Well, after my 8 year old house had pretty much every piece of door molding scratched to hell, REALLY deep on some doors, the carpet pulled up in a few places, and a 2 year old chair, that wasn't cheap, destroyed, amongst a couple of other things, I gave up on the fight to save their claws and got their front claws taken out.
Since they were declawed, I love my cats many times more than I ever did before, they're prefect, and they act no differently than before, they were actually back to themselves shortly after bringing them in the door.
I guess I'll sit back and watch everyone jump on me now, go ahead, ha ha. I tried, I used to think the way most of you do, that a cats had the claws when I got them, blah blah blah, and that it's up to me to teach them right from wrong, but when you try everything and it doesn't work, while the nice stuff around you that you bust your ass off to make the money to pay for is being destroyed around you, you have to do what ya do.
