I have two older cats, both females, who are fixed but not declawed. I cannot bring myself to take away their only defense if they should ever accidently get outside. We did have one other cat who slipped outside one day and was gone for two weeks. We eventually found her bedraggled and muddy, but okay.When you adopt a cat (or more correctly they adopt you), you pay the price of how they were created (claws) and you can correct certain things (litter boxes, etc) but I dont feel right about taking away their only defense should they need it. Cats also defend with their front claws as well as their teeth and back claws.
