For heavens sakes under no circumstances should you consider declawing your cats for the sake of a man.
If he doesn't accept that then you should start to consider what real future you may have together and then tell him to move on. Just think that this unreasonable demand from him to have your cats declawed might just be the start of things to come, for you as well as your cats.

You owe it to you cats to be their protector for life and to speak up for them regardless of who you choose to form a relationship with.

Lets face it, men will come and go as they see fit but your cats will always be there for you through thick and thin.
