My old kitties were declawed, and once they healed there were no problems. Now I don't think it's something I'll do again. Some cats deal with it just fine and others get really messed up and there's no way to predict if the cat will be cool with it or not.

My current kitty is spayed but has her claws. I just trim them every now and then when they get sharp. She's not really into clawing the furniture, so it works out well for us.
