I understand what they can do. I was raised with cats my whole life all of them had claws except one and she didn't because some guy dropped her off while she was pregnet and declawed and left her to die basicly. I know it isn't the best thing to do to Cubby but at the time I had 1 other choice and I wasn't willing to put a perfectly healthy needed some work little kitten to sleep. When I got him he hated any one and every one. After working with him for a few weeks he grew to tolerant my husband. He fell in love with me the day I brought him home. His attitude has only gotten better since I have had him. Yes of course he can still be a pain in the butt but I love him to much to ever even thing about getting rid of him. When he was getting declawed they had to keep him over night to make sure every thing went okay. I couldn't sleep know that my little furbaby, was in the hospital which he hates most and, wasn't going to be sleeping on my feet or curling up with me. After I got him home I did regret my decision to get him declawed, but by then it was already to late. Before the surgery I couldn't feed him after midnight and when he got home he wasn't allowed to eat until 8 am do to the medication was still very obviously in him. I did feed him and what he ate came right back up which made me feel even worse let alone what he must have been feeling. Now has ajusted to not having any claws. The rules here are that they must be front and back declawed and yes I did misobey the rules. A front declaw is more than enough pain and more than enough claws to lose. I only would do a front. I did try and talk with the aparment manager before I did it. I heard of soft claws I think that is what they are called. She wouldn't let me get those instead. In my first post I do plan on buying a house with in this year. I will get another cat maybe an adult cat that is use to cats but I will not get the new cat declawed. But that is my story. Cubby will no matter what be my little baby. I will also attach another pictur of him I hope you all can see the first one. The picture was taken last Christmas. As you will be able to see he can still climb up my Christmas tree and he ended up breaking the tree and we paid over $200 for the tree and used it for 2 years before Cubby broke it but it was so cute to watch him having fun.
