first of all you know what it didn't change my cat at all and i am sorry you seem nice and all but would you want your cat messing up your home, because if we didn't declaw him he would of messed up everything. And i think it would only hurt them if he was outside then i would agree with you.

You asked because he is biting a lot. That is a change then.

I have eight cats and they do not mess up my home and all eight have their claws.

It can hurt them whether they are inside or outside. You can check numerous sites on the internet that explain the issues of declawing.

I was just stating that most people on this site are against it and they feel it is cruel. I am one of the people that agree with them.

If you don't agree then you don't agree. We can agree to disagree.

I hope your cat has her kittens soon and they are all healthy

all 8 adult cats and 7 kittens ranging from nearly 6 months down to 6 weeks all have their claws and they dont mess up our home, they have plenty of scratch posts etc.. i might get the odd scratch on the corners of the wall but i would never have them declawed because of it. im glad your cat had healthy kittens.

I understand that you do not want your cats tearing up your furniture. I have personally witnessed a cat being de-clawed and was sickened by it and do not agree with it, but everyone has their own opinion. I personally have not ever had any problems with my cats tearing anything up because I provide plenty of scratching posts for them, and teach them to use them when they are kittens or as soon as they arrive in my home.
Here is something for you to consider for your kitties as an alternative to declawing. http://www.softpaws.com/. I have known people who have used them with success, and I'm sure there are people on this board that have used them and can tell you more about them.

Here is a link to TCS's information on declawing. If you click on the links and read them all, it will explain more in detail. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41954

Do you think if you showed them the links, that it might change their minds? Be sure and mention the nail caps to them too!
