  I had to break in here, I had two of my cats declawed when they were younger and I won't argue the "inhumane" thing because everyone has their opinion, but the dression is something I've never seen since both of my cats would be aloud outside for a little while and both of them would climb trees with no problem. 
On to the cat situation, my cat and my two babies tollerate eachother, they will on occasion chase eachother around the house, the cat chases the dogs and they turn around and the dogs chase the cat.  It will take time, if you cats do not like the puppy then the pup will learn to stay clear of the cats, just try to keep the nails cut short
