As I've said we have three of the 12 that are front declaw. In one way it is good, as Bailey hates Chessie. He will growl and swat Chessie; Ches' will do the same but will no nails no harm. It actually looks like a small boxing match. Lenny could care less and just wants to be the Fridge alarm and a mid-night lover. The personalities are not affected by the lack of nails.
Years ago we had one Missy that got out. She ended up in a tree. I still can’t figure out how she could climb with out nails.
On a side note Chessie is my wife’s boy and a drooler. His favorite thing is sitting on my wife’s chest and making bread. He will do this for 15-30 minutes before we go to sleep, leaving a very large wet spot just under her chin.
