Why do people declaw cats? [View All]

My Twitch is declawed. My son found her lurking, and crying on the back porch two years ago. The vet said that she was probably about 10 or 11 yrs old, and probably lost her ear to frostbite. I was cutting up chicken on the counter the other day, and she tried to stand up, paws on the lower cupboard door, to beg. She slid off sideways, smacked the floor, and turned her back, and started grooming. She's had a hard life, made harder, because someone was house proud about their furniture.
