Leaving the declaws is more of a nuisance. The owner needs to clip the nail..some forget it is there and they can grow into the skin. Keeping the nail short helps prevent getting it caught on things like bedding, chair fabric etc..it can get caught and be pulled out..they won't die if it happens, but it is painful and bloody.
