Is declawing cats inhumane?

I want to buy new furniture, but my wife's cats scratch everything in sight. I want to cut their fingers off, she thinks it would be a horrible thing to do. I certainly don't want to spend a fortune on new furniture just to see it get messed up in the first week. What says the ot?

If they're your wife's cats aren't they your cats?

When she leaves the house without you one day, drop the cat off at the nearest park. Then say the cat bolted out the door when you opened it for a sec.

No it's not. Just leave their rear claws in case it gets out and needs them but get the front claws removed.

It hurts them for a while, but as long as they stay inside it's not inhumane. If the cat spends any amount of time outside though, it won't be able to defend itself.

Not if it's strictly a house cat.

My parents have always declawed their cats and they have been fine. Inside cats don't need their claws.

Dude, if it gets out, it's going to need those front claws, to claw with.

The way their paws are set up, declawing would essentially be cutting off all your fingertips at the last knuckle...and same for the toes if you do the back paws, too.
I don't know how much it'd really hurt a cat, but I'd imagine it'd be hell pretty much having to relearn how to walk and do other cat shite. And as some others have mentioned, if it does actually get out, without claws it has no chance against predators or other cats.
My advice would be to get a good scratching post, rub in a generous amount of cat nip, and make sure to clip the claws every week or two.
But at the end of the day, adopting a cat from a shelter and declawing is relatively humane compared to a cat living its life in a shelter or out on the streets.
