If you take it so seriously, then I suggest that you cease from eating meat.

since not everyone is well informed about declawing, I post the below for
informational purposes (from the kittenrescue.org website). I should also
mention things I've seen at the shelter as far as side-effects. If cats are
deprived of their front claws they have no defense so are MUCH more likely
to bite. I have observed this first hand. I also know of cats that have had
real litter box behavior problems after being declawed.

There is a less cruel alternative I understand - if you are dead-set on a
surgical solution. The vet can operate on the tendon which the cat uses to
extend the claws so that he/she cannot extend them. This at least doesn't
amputate the poor kitty's toes.

this website is also very informative:

Declawing and Alternatives

Declawing is something that should only be considered in cases of EXTREME
behavioral problems. Cats use their claws to exercise, play, stretch, climb,
hunt and mark their territory. Although your cat might use your hands or
furniture for these activities, declawing is NOT the answer and there are
many other ways to guide your cat to healthy claw activity.

The declawing operation itself is the human equivalent of removing the first
joint of all your fingers. Many vets feel that the lack of these joints
impairs the cat's balance and can cause weakness from muscular disease.
Declawing also makes a cat feel defenseless and can affect their
personality, making them skittish or nervous biters. In rescue work, we see
many declawed cats that have been given up by their owners. Why? Because
these cats still had behavioral problems that were worsened by not having
their claws. So, if you are adamant about declawing your new cat, why not
consider adopting a cat which has already been declawed?

Take it from an expert. Dr. Nicholas Dodman, author of The Cat Who Cried For
Help, offers this perspective on the procedure:"Declawing involves more than
simply trimming a cat's nails to the quick; it actually involves amputation
of the tips of the digits, bones and all. The inhumanity of the procedure is
clearly demonstrated by the nature of cats' recovery from anesthesia
following the surgery. Unlike routine recoveries, including recovery from
neutering surgeries, which are fairly peaceful, declawing surgery results in
cats bouncing off the walls of the recovery cage because of excruciating
pain. Cats that are more stoic huddle in the corner of the recovery cage,
immobilized in a state of helplessness, presumably by the overwhelming pain.
Declawing fits the dictionary definition of mutilation to a tee. Words such
as deform, disfigure, disjoint, and dismember all apply to this surgery.
Partial digital amputation is so horrible that it has been employed for
torture of prisoners of war, and in veterinary medicine, the clinical
procedure servesas a model of severe pain for testing the efficacy of
analgesic drugs. Even though analgesic drugs can be used postoperatively,
they rarely are, and their effects are incomplete and transient anyway, so
sooner or later the pain will emerge.

'The operative removal of the claws, as is sometimes practiced to protect
furniture and curtains, is an act of abuse and should be forbidden by law in
all, not just a few countries.'(highly regarded British textbook by Turner
and Bateson on the biology of cat behavior) However quickly cats forget the
hideous experience of declawing, and even though they may not hold grudges,
that doesn't seem sufficient justification for putting a family pet through
such a repugnant experience.""

There are alternatives to declawing. Exercise and play with your cat
regularly. Give him a scratching post and teach him to use it. Trim your
cat's nails on a regular basis. And, of course, talk to your vet or
cat-owner friends about ways to "train" your cat to exercise its natural
instincts in non-destructive ways. A squirt bottle is a great way to teach a
cat not to scratch on particular surfaces. It doesn't hurt them and if you
are persistent, they will get the message. There is also a product called
Soft Paws. This is a fake nail which is not sharp at the tip, which fits
over your cats claws. It is sold in pet stores and veterinarian clinics. And
if you are adamant about having a kitty without claws, why not adopt a
previously declawed kitty?
