That's the thing about domestication of once wild animals; we expect them to exhibit all the positive traits natural to them and inhibit all the nasty stuff like shitting anywhere and clawing at things. Then if they don't adapt to the situation we force upon them we blame them.
It's our expectations that are often too high, why should an animal suffer because of that?
In my opinion you should either explore alternative, less debilitating options to declawing, or find a new owner for your cat who doesn't mind its scratching habits.
IIN I'm not sure whether to declaw my cat or not?
