Never. Do your homework. Declawing = amputation. The toes are amputated and the cat must walk on bone. Felines frequently have bone fragments which require surgical repair later in life. AMPUTATION = Phantom pain. Many cats react by not using their litterbox and then are dumped at shelters, or to fend defenseless in the wild. If you must have a cat with no claws, save yourself a few hundred and adopt one already declawed from your lical humane groups Petfinder.com, and/or Pets.overstock.com. Declawing is banned in 40+ countries, and a few US cities. North American vets continue to resist efforts by educated consumers to ban the lucrative industry started in the mid 1950's.
Yep, banned in the EU and US
Los Altos, California banned all Halloween celebrations from its schools in 1995. It did so because of Halloween's pagan traditions.
It is never a good idea to declaw a cat, no matter what the age. Declawing is banned in 25 countries around the world: England, Scotland, Wales, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Slovenia, Portugal, Belgium, Spain, Brazil, Israel, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Yugoslavia. The sole reason this procedure is banned in so many countries as it is deemed as unnecessarily and inhumane. In addition, several US states have now also banned declawing. Declawing is an irreversible procedure involving major surgery, with equally irreversible side-effects that can (and in many cases, do) effect a cat for the rest of its life. Declawing is not a removal of the nails of a cat. Declawing surgery is actually the amputation of the first digit of each of the cat's toes. The claw is tightly attached to the bone, so much so that it is impossible to remove the claw on its own, so the bone attached to the claw is removed as well. In human terms, it would be the equivalent of chopping off each finger tip at the first knuckle. This severs muscle and tendons which causes much pain and discomfort to the cat, and can cause early arthritis and other problems to the cat's muscles and joints from being unable to walk in a natural position, or no longer being able to stretch the muscles in its back, legs or shoulders from scratching a scratching post. Aside from physical complications, there is a risk of a declawed cat develop behavioral problems as well. Cats use their claws to defend themselves, so a declawed cat can become very stressed, nervous or even aggressive. Some will resort to biting as they have no other line of attack or defence. Many declawed cats are often surrendered to animal shelters because of this.
To me it's cruel bcause now days a vet will just clip part of the poor cats toe off along with the nail. It is never a good idea to declaw a cat, no matter what the age.
