When we adopted our first cat we took him to a veterinarian that only saw cats. (That way they didn't get scared in a waiting room full of barking dogs, etc..) We asked about having him declawed, and she explained the procedure to us in detail and stayed that even though she would do it if we really wanted her to, she found the procedure cruel highly recommend that we did not have it done. I decided right then that if someone who stood to make hundreds of dollars off of us was trying to talk us out of doing it, she must have a very valid point. Instead of declawing, my husband built him a cat tree and we bought lots of toys. Some furniture did get a little damage anyway, but it was worth it to have him and for over 16 years. (He just passed away last summer.)

My mom asked my brother and I on our opinion on declawing her cat, because she recently got leather furniture. Education is certainly the destroyer of this practice because the moment we explained what exactly that meant she dropped the idea.
Unfortunately her cat is too old to be taught for trimming (I tried, got bit, not trying again). I started on my cat when she was a kitten and she handles it well.

My cat did not like getting her nails clipped when we first got her. So I would wrap her in a blanket and do it that way. I also played with her feet every so often to get her used to someone messing with them. I cut her nails on a regular basis. She doesn't fight it anymore, no running, no clawing, and no crying. Practice good habits and both cats and dogs will get used to it. Coming from someone who used to work at a grooming salon, there is NO good excuse to declaw.
