WOW!

I never have heard people so opposed to declawing a cat.

We have had 4 cats over the years, and all have been declawed. They are all indoor/outdoor cats, so just have the front claws removed and they are fine out at the barn and around the yard, etc. We did make this choice by talking with our vet. He also declaws his own cats in the same way.

I guess if your more worried about the cat than your furniture you can opt not to declaw, but it is safe and we have never had a cat get infected paws from it. I'm not sure what kind of vets you all go to, but I can reassure you that my vet is not only safe, but makes sure owners know the proper after care and follow up visits.
