My cat is also declawed. He doesn't know he is decalwed either. He still scratches the hamper and the bed at night. He has always been a biter even before he got declawed. If I had my own home and not in an apartment, I would not have got him declawed. His attitude hasn't changed at all. He still likes his lovings (only when he wants them) he gets all the toys he can play with and all the food he cares to eat. He is a very happy cat. I am not saying that I was right or wrong to get him declawed. But when you live in an apartment and it is part of the contract to have your cat declawed, I would rather have him declawed than to be put to death which would have happened to him. My cat isn't good with children, he likes to be left alone and he isn't very people friendly. I knew all this about him before I got him, knowing that he would have been declawed before I got him. I had it done early enough for it not to bother him as much as it would with an older cat. Cubby can still stretch out as far as he can. He still has his back claws and I would never have them removed unless I had no other choice such as if they started growing wrong or what ever else could happen. I didn't have it done to spare my furniture or anything else. And I do have a scratching tree which he will still use. No matter what, what is done is done. And I can't change what has been done. Like I said if I had a house of my own he wouldn't have been declawed.
