I treat my pets better than most people treat their children. My world basically revolves around them, it's why I joined this site. I've always had declawed cats in my life, and, I know many people that have declawed cats. And, trust me on this, I KNOW my cat. He doesn't hide pain. He's the biggest cry baby out there, and, he will milk a situation for as much attention as he can get. I'm not saying it wasn't painful at all, because surgery is, but, Lock was not affected by it anymore than he was affected by his neutering. And, yes, I realize that neutering is necessary and declawing isn't. I'm an intelligent person, and, I had declawed Lock for reasons other than furniture. And, when someone has already stated that they've declawed their cats, I think it's inappropriate to ask them if they think it's worth the risk. If someone tells me that they feed their cat or dog science diet or most of the other commercially processed pet foods, I'm not going to shoot off the list of diseases and deaths related to diet, and, then ask them if they think feeding their pet crapinabag is worth the risk, unless they ask me for the advice. And, all of my declawed cats have always had good, regular veterinary care, and, none of them had heart problems or bad joints.
