Yes, declawed cats can live with cats with claws, but I would keep the
claws trimmed regularly on the clawed cats to avoid any conflicts. It
really depends on the cats involved. It would not stop me from adding
a declawed cat to the household if I really wanted it.
Marybeth - I received a letter in the mail last night from Herbie's
breeder and she recently spayed his two year old litter sister. She
might be up for adoption if you choose to call. She's a seal lynxpoint
and a real nice girl. Very sweet. One of the blue male kittens has been
sold as well as the seal lynxpoint male.
Just an FYI since you had inquired....

| 4904.2 | My Callie would MAUL a declawed cat. | MCIS2::HUSSIAN | Christmas is only 16 weeks away!! | Thu Sep 05 1991 16:06 | 9 |
| I considered it once, but changed my mind quite quickly. Roberta's
right. It DOES depend on the cats. If you have a cat that you know has
aggressive behavior at times (even playing rough), I don't think it
would be fair to the declawed cat if the aggressive cat had claws.
If the clawed cat was somewhat mellow and accepted new family members
easilly, then it could work. I wouldn't rule out the idea, but I would
give it VERY careful consideration.

| 4904.3 | can be done... | DELNI::JMCDONOUGH | | Fri Sep 06 1991 15:19 | 12 |
| I have three fully-lethal females who live in absolute harmony and
happiness with a male that is not only declawed, but who has only 3
legs. He lost his front left leg after being caught in a car's fanbelt,
so the remaining front leg had to be declawed to prevent him from
climbing---he's get 'hung-up' if he did so...
My girls and him play a lot, and they get kind of rough, but they
seem to cause the 'Yowls' more with their mouths than their claws when
it gets too rough...
