I agree that declawing is not a good idea. If you simply keep the cat's claws trimmed, that should be adequate. It's more important to choose the right cat. Sometimes the cat's history is known. If this is the case, a cat who has been the only pet of an elderly person is a good candidate, as he/she is used to a quiet household and keeping an older person company.
