Sounds like the great debate...cat vs. dog...See what you started venray!?
And on a side note, since some people took objection to the declawing issue, here's my two cents. Declawing is a brutal surgery. No holds barred. It's illegal in some countries. But the truth is, the number one reason for euthanasia of a pet in THIS country is behavior issues. So...if it means keeping kitty alive and hopefully in his happy home, I sleep better at night knowing at least I did it as humanely as possible and gave the poor thing enough pain medication that he won't feel his feet, let alone know that he's missing his toes...enough said.
