Believe it or not, declawing cats is a slightly hot topic among pet owners. Some believe it is fine and have their cats undergo the procedure in order to save their furniture or to keep their young children from being scratched to pieces. Others see the procedure as inhumane. It is even illegal in several major cities in California for veterinarians to declaw cats.
So, where do you stand? Is it fine to declaw cats or is it inhumane?

I had a cat named Tazzy who ran away when I was young and he found his way back home after a week. He only had his back claws. That cat lived to be 20, I was only 14 when he passed. Anyway if you're thinking of declawing just do the front.
