Well of course it CAN happen, but a declawed cat could scratch a puppy with its back claws or bite its eye as well... A lot of things CAN happen but you shouldn't be advising to just declaw all cats because a puppy is brought into a home. Also cats can scratch each others eyes as well you know. And declawing will not at all guarantee that they will become friends. In fact, the cat might feel more defenseless and be more hostile to the dog because of being declawed
I know a Bichon that lost one of its eyes because a lab's tail was wagging and hit it, damaging it badly. So does that mean we should amputate all dog's tails?
