Well, Lordy, I don't know if I'll be able to deClaw a Kitty now, after reading all this. An Animal in any kind of pain, makes me feel terrible.

I just read about "Soft Paw" on the Web. They are little acrylic caps that you glue and then slip over the Kitten's front claws. Lots of testimonials and photos. The cats seem to tollerate them well. An application last about 4 to 6 weeks, which means, you will have to re-apply.

Has anyone tried these? I think they have them for dogs too. lol

Doydie, I hope your Kitty is feeling better today. Don't worry, he will eventially forgive you.
