They often develop chronic arthritis and as the front toe pads shrink, chronic bone infections are common. So many cats find it painful to use the litter box, develop a conditioned aversion to using the box, and become un-housebroken. This is why many declawed cats are put up for adoption or are euthanized. They may also bite more, and become defensive when handled because their paws are hurting and infected.
Declawing (Onychectomy) of Cats
If you are worried about your furniture - DON'T get a cat.

I am very passed on this thread, but I LOVE your last quote!
Yeah I would NEVER declaw my cat, even though she is very bitch and would attack anyone who pissed her off with her claws, ruining some of my furnitures with her claws, etc. Many of my friends have been suggesting me to declaw my cat, and I told them "No because I think it is very disrespectfully to cat's nature". I believe the claws is very important for cat's pleasure, to strenching their body (HEALTHY!), to catch the mouse or any small animals for their foods (HEALTHY!), to pull things while the cat feel so much organism (HEALTHY!), to itching their own body (HEALTHY!)there is many things so important for cat to have the claws.
Claws is cat's guide to their own comfortable!
I believe people who declawing the cat are treating the cat like their stuffed toy animals who can't defend themselves, can't itching themselves, can't strench themselves, can't predatoring other animals, etc etc!!
