Cat people, soft claw caps?

Why are you not considering getting the kitten declawed? Will it always be indoors?

I have my kittens front paws declawed when he was about 11 months old. They used a laser and I only had the front paws done.

He showed no signs of pain after the procedure. No blood, no scabs to be seen, and he was jumping around the same day.

Nine years later and I'm thankful I had it done. He doesn't know that he no longer has them and my furniture looks great!
