I am extremely against declawing animals, you're condemning your cat to death or horrible injury if they ever get outside and get in a fight.
Maybe you should have thought more about your responsibility as a pet owner if you'd hurt your cat to save your leather sofa. There are sprays, air fresheners and all kinds of products to discourage marking behaviors. Do you have a scratching post? Is it tall and sturdy enough for your cat to use comfortably? Have you tried any other alternatives or did you just up and decide "wellp, better rip his claws out"
You should see my leather sofa. However I care more about my living, breathing pets than I do about a few strips of dead cow.
95% of the time, people don't like cats because they scratch. if declawing was not so frowned upon, there would be a lot less cats in shelters, because more people would want to keep them. They would want to give them a forever home because they don't have to worry about the 98% infection rate from a cat scratch. would you rather cats find a good forever home, or have them keep their claws so they can act like savage animals, not just towards threatening entities, but their owners as well.
this^
if you can't handle a cat doings its perfectly natural and beneficial behavior of scratching things, or can't train them to only scratch a scratching post, then DON'T GET A FREAKING CAT.
it's extremely cruel to declaw a cat, you are taking away their only defense / sense of security, you are cutting off the ends of their 'fingers' at the knuckle (not just the claws), and all of this can mess up your cat in the head. Especially doing all this with no anesthetic?!
that's complete bullshit. declawing only takes the claw off, it doesn't affect theknuckles in any way. you need to read up on your cat anatomy.the claw is a seperate structure that grows independent from the knuckles, so there is no reason to remove the knuckles. I agree with declawing because it opens up a lot more possible homes, especially for people with weak immune systems due to a disease like me, who are terrified of getting a dangerous infection from a cat scratch. my cats love me and I love them. I am not cruel to them. I want to keep them and give them a loving home, but I also don't want to fucking die. there are justifiable reasons for declawing
IIN I'm not sure whether to declaw my cat or not?

I don't exactly agree with declawing an animal. It's their natural defense mechanism. It's pretty cruel to take that away from them.
