"Not to mention the infections that will result from the surgery" "Does it result in pain and serious infection for the animal?"
Ok, so no matter what you do the cat will become infected? This is ridiculous man. You know that's not true. Listen I don't think it's right to do all the time. I have an indoor cat and an outdoor cat. The indoor is declawed, the outdoor needs em for defense. It's that simple for me. I mean, would you not get your dog spayed or neutered? That's mean and painful, but it stops them from getting certain types of cancer, and helps them to live longer. Also declawing is much better for those people that aren't going to take proper care of their animals. I have seen the results of cat's claws grown far to long. They split, bleed and get infected.
