Declawing: against or for?

Now as far I can see you just completely contradicted yourself. I think you need to remember what you say before you open your mouth.

Also, I have noticed that your threads have all been complaining.

First because your son went away and you wanted to toss his dog out. And then complaining about your cat showing affection in licking you. Then you come out with being for declawing simply to save your precious furniture. You don't deserve to have a cat. Or another other animal for that matter. They are possessions to you. Something you can so "Oh look what I have" but the minute they behave not to your liking it toss it away or rip out it's claws. I think you need to step back and take a look at yourself as a pet owner. You think you are saving them cause you take them into your home but you subject them to misery of declawing and lord forbid if they do something remotely naughty and cat like. They must be good little furrballs and just sit and look pretty and entertain you.

I pity your poor animals. They are nothing more than objects.
