I wish people would never get their cats declawed, it is not right. This stupid owner that, didn't like cats at all to get him declawed. They only suppose to do two paws not four paws, the vet did it was only in four the money. I volunteer at the Humane Society and I have people come in and ask for a declawed cat. One time a lad with her 3 kids wanted a declawed cat but we didn't have any at that time and I showed her ca cat but she didn't want it because it scratches furiture. She didn't want it ruin her couch because she had all new furiture. Well don't get a cat, if you are worry about your leather couch.
