And no, it's not about Ted Nugent.
So I was getting ready to meet some friends for lunch and in the process of tying my shoes when Leah, my frisky cat, goes after the shoelaces. While doing that, she gashes a couple of my left fingers, which forces me to get them bandaged up on the spot. This a night after she leaves a deep claw mark on my right arm (which is sticking out like an eyesore right now as I'm typing this) while running around my house.
Which gives me a difficult decision to make: Declaw her or don't declaw her. One friend is all for declawing it, but my neighbor is against it, playing the "how will she fend herself?" card, although there are strong indications that she prefers to be an indoor cat. So, fellow SOers, what would you do in this situation?
