Keep in in the house, other cats can kill him, if he is declawed, my cats are not declawed by I never allow them outside my house.

Your right too much love and time is spent on them over the years to let them go. Praise GOD : )

No going outside now no matter how much he wants it. Get some toys and teach him to play inside. Acat tree with some toys attached will help him play by himself when you're not there. I got a cat (rescue) that was already declawed too. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to own animals.

Yeah, I know, my friend had a cat that walked with its claws out at all times it was crazy you just knew when he came to you it was going to hurt : ) It was a cutie though worth the pain. Praise GOD

Hi jirexpress, If you've had your cat declawed, never ever let him outside as he now has no defense and other cats will tear him to pieces. Blessings.

I think you should let him play outside for a while, but maybe you should accompany him.. Since he will always want to play outside if he is not let out.. HE might even escape. is there a box, like the hamster has?

Declawed cats can not go outside without supervision. If u want u can get a leash n walk ur ca. If ur cat goes out he can't dumb trees to get away from dogs etc. U Havering keep him safe. I would get lots of cat toys to keep him busy n eventually he wont want to go outside. Lots of indoor toys! Good luck j Congrats btw on ur new family memeber!

You can try to train your cats with a leash on, you'll have full supervision over them and they should be fine. I dont let my cats outisde and they have their claws. I don't want them to get lost or hurt outside, I see people kicking cats who come in their yard..

Every animal is gifted with the ability to defend themselves from other animals and cat is gifted with sharp nails to attack other or to catch it's pray. I wounder why you do so. Anyway it is not good to leave your cat alone because it has lost it defensing weapon. So you must be with the cat at all the time.
