No, I really didn't and I'm glad I did some research before I had that done,because I'd never do anything like that to an animal.I would have felt horrible if I found out later.I didn't generally believe in declawing anyway because cats need to be able to defend themselves;but he's a different case and ran across my three year old's face with his claws out yesterday as she was lying back on the bed as I put her shoes on.He didn't hurt her badly,she got a small poke to the nose and her eye watered, but there was no injury, thank goodness.He's just kind of a dummy, he's loving, but he's blind and kinda dumb,and he scratches us a lot.I was so mad at him yesterday I considered taking him to the pound before I calmed down,because he could have really hurt her.I'm gonna try the nail covers and see if it helps.
