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.
Cats are declawed by a veterinarian cutting off the last joint of the toes on their front feet (and sometimes back feet). This removes the entire claw structure, the tendon and muscle that extends and retracts the claw, and severs the nerves running to the claw. It is extremely painful, and is painful for days after the operation. I have no idea how much it costs in terms of money; in terms of psychological and physiological damage to the cat, the cost is immense. Please DO NOT DECLAW YOUR CATS. If your furniture is more important than your cat, don't get a cat.
