Each to their own opinion, I stand by mine.

I aim to educate people including yourself, in the hope that future cats are spared unnecessary pain.

Teaching a cat to use a scratching pole take 5 minutes versus a lifetime of potential painful problems. Even inside cats need their claws to exercise & stretch correctly.

I find my cats love their cat tree (with rope scratching posts included)

I have explained the suffering which can result from this unnecessary operation, maybe you will try introducing a scratching pole before Declawing any future cats.

I know which option the cats would choose, their claws intact AND a loving home with a scratching pole.
