You're probably just a troll, but just in case you're ignorant about it,
here goes... Have you ever thought what is actually done when a cat is
declawed?? It has its toes amputated at the first joint of the toe.
Imagine having your own fingers cut off at the joint right after the nail.

Here's some extensive information on declawing and why not to do it:

Before getting a cat, you should have gathered information about its
natural behaviour and how to deal with it humanely - such as providing
it with legitimate scratching surfaces, scratching poles and the like.
Or maybe you belong to those people who get pets and treat them as toys
and not like living beings. When you get bored with it or it "gets
broken" you throw it away...
