So sorry to hear about your little Chewy. I hope he is going to be OK. I declawed my first two cats, but not my last 4. Declawing is like amputation. It is radical. Cats defend themselves most often by using their rear claws. In order to fully protect chewy, you would need to have claws on all four paws removed, and that would render kitty defenseless for the most part. There are alternatives, like caps for the claws or just keeping the claws trimmed. You could also consider keeping Chewy in an ex-pen or crate when you can't be around to supervise kitty. The good news is, I would bet money that Chewy has learned to respect kitty after this ordeal so hopefully it won't happen again.
