Ideally, I don't think cats should be declawed. If you can't deal with your possessions being potentially scratched up by a feisty feline, maybe you just shouldn't own a cat. My cat has had both her front and back paws declawed (by previous owners long, long ago) and I hate watching her try to scratch herself and always give her a helping hand when I see her try. Funny part is her leg starts kicking like she's a dog if I start scratching in the right spot lol she's silly
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
