I am not thrilled with the prospect of declawing, but that is the only way my roommate will allow them to stay. The pet store told me that 5 months is the earliest, but that seems old to me. Thanks for the info. There are plenty of alternatives that will keep your roommate happy and the kittens whole.
Claws are cats' primary form of defense.
Should you and your kittens ever become separated, your kittens will be helpless and will be at a disadvantage when it comes to hunting and defending themselves. Declawing is irreversible. I think it is a bad thing. Have your kittens go nuts on these, not on the furniture. Double sided strips can also help save the couch.
