[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We owned two declawed cats who have since died.  They lived long, happy indoor lives and until the very end of their lives, never had issues peeing outside of the litter box or other behavior problems.

My take is cats are better off having a home, even if they’re declawed.  There are millions of stray cats and cats in shelters.  Your cat would likely prefer a declawed life than a life in a shelter or euthanized.[/quote]

You're pretending that "declaw the cat or abandon it" is the only choice here. There is always the choice of "don't declaw the cat, and also don't be a total POS and abandon a living animal you committed to taking care of." [/quote]

DP but that IS the option. Declaw or surrender back to the rescue, where it is possible it will be euthanized because of the scratching up of furniture. 
I think many people don't realize that many cats scratch up furniture - some are willing to accept it and others want to kill the cat for destroying their furniture. If you fall in the former, do you just not have nice things?[/quote]
