One word - DONT! Declawing your kitty can be very painful, just not during the process but even long after. What most people do not realise is that your cats claws grow differently as to your own nails do. A new cats claw will grow inside the original claw and when it is ready, the outer claw will shed, which is why you may find 'claws' around the house! These are called 'claw husks' and is just the shedding of the outer layer as it has become dull, worn and discarded to let the new fresh one grow through. Cat scratching helps the shedding process keeping the claws sharp which is your kitty's natural defence against preditors, other cats, and hunting. If your kitty is an outside cat, this will make him very vunrable to cat fights, being unable to defend himself! So if declawing your kitty is a must then you have to keep him indoors at all times. Declawing also can affect your cat's ability to walk, as they walk on their toes. The human equivilant to declawing is having your fingers cut off at the knuckle! Ouch! New claws can also start to grow inside the paw and will cause painfull infections and discomfort for your kitty. If declawing is definitely the only option and you are set on having this done, take him to the vet and get this done professionally where the claws can be surgically removed so no new claws will grow and cause pain. Another great option is to buy 'claw caps' and have them glued onto your kitty's claws which will stop your kitty scratching your couch and your skin. These are great and very stylish for that up-to-date kitty! Also from a young kitten, investing in a good scratch pole will do wonders. So you won't declaw your kitty now will you?
