Yes, I’m sure the cats would rather not be fixed but, as has already been stated, certain procedures have a direct benefit to the cat’s welfare, whereas declawing does not.
A cat not being dropped off at the pound - for repeatedly destroying furniture - because it got declawed probably is better off than the cat that dies at the pound....
Cats are capable of learning what they can and can’t do. All it takes is the patience many prople aren’t prepared to commit to.
