Hell yeah, please ban declawing. It's inhumane. And no, I'm not a nut or even a vegetarian (and nothing wrong with vegetarians), I'm just sane.
The little silicone claw caps work well and they don’t seem to mind wearing them after you get shredded to pieces putting them on.
also you can still clip the claws if you know what you are doing
Just don't clip up to the pink part and youre fine. I use regular fingernail clippers for that.
My wife showed me some advice online to hold the scruff of their neck in your mouth like a mama cat would while clipping. I tried it and I was able to clip all the claws on my 23 pound cat by myself. He barely freaked out and he's a huge baby scaredy cat about everything.
I did get a mouthful of hair but it was worth it.
