Cats are usually very sweet and easy to take care.
Declawing a cat is the equivalent of removing the tips of each of your fingers from the nearest joint to your nails. It also removes the ability of the cat to spread it's toes wide, like cats like to do.
My thoughts are, if you plan to declaw a cat, you have no business having a cat.
