I understand, and this is not an attack on you. I understand what it's like to have a happy cat, and I have no doubt that yours is happy as hell. I love cats so very much, and I have no doubt you love yours.
I let my cats outside when they want to go out, and am often judged for that. They're happy as hell, too.
That being said, I will continue to put considerable effort into anti-declawing legislation and measures. I am in the veterinary medicine field and it's a growing sentiment among my peers.
My dad was a veterinarian. He simply did not like cats at all. But he was also against declawing them, way before being against it was the norm.
Our vets don't do it. Period, end of discussion.
