Suggest to them getting those claw cover things?

Declawing is incredibly inhumane

It is possible for a cat to run outside. Which claws are important.

More notably, declawing a cat changes how the cat walks. This gives the cat back problems that cause severe backpain. I remember my old cat, who we had declawed (I was a child, my parents didn't know better) got so bad that you couldn't even pet him on the back at all without him freaking out. I felt completely terrible.

If this is your reasoning then you should never own a cat in the first place. There are plenty of ways to get cats to stop this behavior, but imagine someone cutting off the tips of your fingers in response to you destroying a few items. Just plain awful, no way around it.

Declawing traditionally involves the amputation of the last bone of each toe. If performed on a human being, it would be like cutting off each finger at the last knuckle. It is an unnecessary surgery that provides no medical benefit to the cat.

Even if it doesnt, cats claws have nerve endings in them. Theyre not like nails. Its like calling chopping off a persons fingers trimming their nails. Its incredibly inhumane.

The vets around me try to get you to not declaw your cats. It's barbaric and the only people who do it are lazy ass owners who just buy a scratching post and put it in a corner of the house, expecting the cat to know how to use it.

I'm sure the cat isnt awake when they do surgery so this is irrelevant information

So declawing them is bad but forcing the to wear mittens 24/7 is somehow nice?

Just gently bring up the actual procedure and discuss why so many people are against it, try to get them to understand how fucked up it is.

Cats are surprisingly easy to train, especially kittens.

It's not a common procedure at all. That's why many vets discourage people from getting them.

I used to think declawing was fine but that was before I'd spent anytime around cats and had an intense fear of being scratched. I can see it clearly as cruel now and can't understand how anyone who claims to care about cats could defend it.
