i'd like your opinion on if you did it to your animal, if it changed him somehow and if it was worth it.
ps: he's about 5months old.

I love cats and cats love me. I am apparently 'cat people', I grew up with cats all my life, be they outdoor barn cats or indoor pets.
An outdoor cat should not be declawed, cats are wild when alone outside and need those claws. We had declawed cats who did venture out and were ok, but I don't think its a good thing.
An indoor cat has no use for claws. If the cat is going to spend all its time in your house I have no problem with declawing. All of our cats did just fine with it, still acted like cats, still had normal cat lives after. This counts on you doing you part to make sure the cat doesn't get out on its own.
