I declawed my cat after being adopted from a neglectful previous owner.

Cat destroyed over 2k on couches (plural), shoes, purses, box springs, leather chairs, etc. I finally declawed her or she would've been given up to someone else. 

She's pretty comfy right now, laying on my couch, sleeping. The declaw was the best procedure ever and I can assure you, she is VERY happy as well living a retirement lifestyle.

Thank you Hermosa vet (on Federal) for taking care of de-clawing her and educating me on all the Halloween spooky stories on what will happen if you declaw a cat. She's doing fine now and seems very happy coming to bed every night purring after eating her fancy gravy cans.

I guess if they ban it in Denver, please don't go to Lakewood or Aurora to declaw your cat! 

Now back to the bums and urine smell on 16th street as well as potholes, crumbling sidewalks, over crowded jails, etc.
