[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will take a week or two for them to adjust and stop being so skittish. You can trim the claws with nail scissors just be careful not to cut too much. Look for the pink area in the nail and avoid cutting close to that, trim the curved end so that the nail is blunted so that they will not scratch you. You can also have a groomer put nail caps on.[b] Declawing is a the option of last resort [/b]and really shouldn't be considered until all other options are exhausted. There can be some pretty serious issues from the declawing procedure. Also, buy a laser pointer, they will chase the red dot and you can tire them out, its fun to watch. [/quote]

Declawing should NEVER be an option unless we do you first.[/quote]
Declawing the cat is better than killing the cat or abandoning it, which amounts to the same thing.  You don't have to agree, but I have enough cats and don't really want to be in the vet's office on a Sunday crying while they put to sleep the cat/kitten you dumped to get mauled, hit by a car etc. AGAIN.

Actually, if you can't handle a cat including all of its physical attributes, then re-home it or take it to the shelter.

[b]De-clawing is the same as pulling out human fingernails.[/b]  Think about that.  How would you like that?[/quote]

Declawing is the equivalent of cutting off a finger to the first knuckle - not just pulling out fingernails. It's cruel, and can lead to problems like a cat peeing outside the litterbox because they can't properly dig their litter as they are naturally inclined to do. [/quote]
