Thread: declaw or not declaw?

Sorry but I think if you can't face a bit of furniture being spoilt you don't have animals, I have had a new leather sofa scratched to pieces with the newest babe & her big brother running over it,but so what,I keep the nails clipped they are taught not to use it as a scratching post but the rest we just accept. We don't have to make that decision here but I know what mine would be,no animal should have to suffer that type of indignity plus they use their claws for play & climbing,even those that are kept indoors.Let her keep them....xxx
