I had my kitten declawed about a month ago. I wanted mine declawed because it was scatching my so much and my furniture. Now that I have he has resulted to bitting sometimes. But that does not alway happen when you declaw a cat. But I think thaey seem to be more gentle. But that is just my thinking. I don't know how others feel. I have other kittens declawed before and they have turned out gentle. And the vet says that it doesn't really effect then when they are young, but if they are to old and you have them declawed then it is more of a problem. Because they are already use to having claws and they have to get use to walking without them. yes it may seem cruel to some but it all depends on the person. I really thought about this for some time but my kitten is only 8 months old now. But they say anything over a year old its rough on them. I love my baby and wouldn't do anything to hurt him he is just like another childe of mine.
It's hard to believe that you'd never "do anything to hurt him..." What do you think you just did?! Geeze. I don't know whether you did all 4 paws or just the front, but if you did all 4... how's he supposed to get itches? ... or defend himself? That's pretty friggin' cruel if you ask me. If you don't want them damaging your stuff --- there is one simple solution. But most people are selfish and pick the solution that benefits them only. GET RID OF THE CAT.
