We had a cat which had 6 fingers(?) on each front paw and she was always getting tangled up. We had the problem corrected by getting the claw on the sixth finger removed. Everything was fine after that.

She was some cat. With the extra finger came a bigger paw. She could really clout the other cats when they gave her a problem.

What I am saying is that there is sometimes a medical reason for declawing a cat.

Also, all cats in TV should be indoor cats so there should be no reason for them having claws to defend themselves against predators unless you are talking about the occasional anole that breeches the sliding door. And they are bad for cats to eat anyway. Some say poisonous.
