I've never had a cat....of course, I've been around many cats declawed and not-declawed. I didn't realize that it was so painful for the cat.....could anyone fill me in here?? What is so horrible about the surgery and the recovery afterward?

I met a dog that was front declawed....a golden retriever. The owners did not do it to the dog, they got her from a rescue. I want to know what vet would do that!
