[quote=Anonymous]NP. We declawed a cat as a last resort because there was no scratching post or device available that kept her from destroying the furniture or rugs. Laser declaw, great pain meds, and not a single solitary behavioral issue afterwards. She lived a great, non-neurotic life as a spoiled indoor kitty with no litterbox issues, biting, aggression, etc. SoftPaws didn't work for us at all, and neither did anti-anxiety meds. The double-sided tape meant to deter cats from furniture was a joke, and wasn't feasible for the carpets. She wasn't anxious; she just loved the feel of furniture and carpets more than cat-specific scratching devices. I agree that declawing is better than euthanasia, and I don't think you're a terrible person for considering it. I would talk to your vet about alternatives such as anti-anxiety meds, but I don't believe the extremist propaganda about declawing.[/quote]
