[quote=Anonymous]I know of a few instances in which cats were declawed for scratching furniture, but after being declawed, they developed other problems, mainly not peeing in the litter box. It is traumatic to the cat to have it declawed, and there is a lot of pain when they use the litter box (try to dig/cover their pee). They then associate the litter box with pain and stop using it. So while people think declawing solves one problem (scratching up furniture or kids), it inevitably leads to another problem (peeing all over the place). It's a bad idea. period. It isn't only painful for the cat; it also leads to other problems. If the cat didn't scratch the cat for 2 years and ONLY scratched when the kid pulled his tail, then it seems to me the cat adapted pretty well to the environment. Now it's time to teach the kid. And 2 is plenty old enough to teach a kid. I had pets at that age, and I didn't pull or hit them, because my parents taught me not to.[/quote]
