Declawing is not like a manicure. It is serious surgery. Your cat's claw is not a toenail. It is actually closely adhered to the bone. So closely adhered that to remove the claw, the last bone of your the cat's claw has to be removed. Declawing is actually an amputation of the last joint of your cat's toes. When you envision that, it becomes clear why declawing is not a humane act. It is a painful surgery, with a painful recovery period.
However, declawing is a major surgery. A cat's claws extend from the final bones of its paw. A veterinarian cannot remove the claws without actually amputating these bones. In human terms, this would be a procedure similar to having your last carpal (the bone attached to the outermost knuckle) taken out.
