I have decided to have my cat declawed in the front. Despite literally trying everything to reduce his behavior to claw at the furniture and walls I have come to the conclusion that this is the only solution. My only experience with declawing cats in the past is doing it when the cat was younger between 6-12 months old and it never seemed to take an emotional toll on the cat. My cat is five years old so I'm concerned about the emotional toll it will have on him because he is older. My question is what can I expect from him after the surgery behavior wise and will there be any health risks I should be aware of? The vet has reassured me that the recovery process is rather quick and he should be back to his old self within a week or two but I thought it would be good to get information from others. Thanks!
