    If you're going to declaw the cat make sure you never release it from your house or give it away ( unless the person you give it to is also going to keep it in their home). It will not be able to fend for itself outside w/o claws.
    I think that's cruel. If attacked, how would the creature defend itself?

    I know a girl who had her cat declawed but he was an indoor/outdoor cat and got in a fight one night and lost his eye. I agree with you 100%-declawing a cat is down right cruel and goes completely against their nature. My cat is 13 years old and she has never scratched up my furniture. This is because when I first bought her I also bought a scratching post and several times a day every day (for about 6 months)I would hold her paws up to the post and make sure she played with it therefore knowing what it was for. If you can't spend the time to train your pets properly while they are young then you should not have one. Why must the pets have to suffer because we don't know how or want to be responsible pet owners.

    quite agree Bevs
    how would you like to be declawed??? Take the time to teach the cat where it's o.k. to scratch and you won't have a problem, no time?? shouldn't have gotten a pet.

    Typical costs:

    * Declawing a cat using one of the two common conventional methods usually costs between $100 and $250, depending on the veterinarian and which procedure is used. The "Rescoe clipper" method is more common and usually falls at the lower end of the cost range because it is a simpler procedure and takes less time. The "Disarticulation" method, which is more involved, usually falls at the upper end of the range.
    * Declawing a cat using the laser method usually costs between $250 and $450, depending on the veterinarian.
    * Declawing a cat can be a controversial procedure, and some veterinarians do not offer the service. Other veterinarians offer it reluctantly, believing it should be a last resort. If you know you want to declaw your cat, ask about the veterinarian's stance on the procedure.
    Don't do it. A cruel, cruel thing to do. God is watching.
    It cost us $125 bout 2 months ago, New log home and a cat with claws did not mix...
    After reading all comments, have decided not to declaw. To painful. We have an appointment to have soft paws put on nails. PAINLESS
