This was going to be my suggestion. If you can sit down with him and let him know how you are totally against it, and will certainly not try and disuade someone from declawing, but just want to offer options and a little education - and show him how it might make him money - and he might just relent a little. But most importantly, you have to try and talk to him without getting on a soapbox. You can't say that you see his point of view - but if you think about it from a vet's point of view, he makes money doing it, he has happy customers and also, when the cats come back for treatment he and his assistants are less likely to be hurt when treating the cats. Not that any of this is a reason to declaw a cat, but hopefully it'll help you see his point of view - no sense in both of you being totally blind to the other's side.

It sounds like it might be tough, but if you temper your passion about it like you did this time, and try to find constructive ways to combat it instead of getting angry about it, you may just be able to make some progress and maybe even change his mind someday.

Good luck!
