I would have liked to see anyone try that with my Fuzzy. She WOULDN'T, COULDN'T stay inside even after we moved to the suburbs and Mom got her declawed. Then when we moved back out to the country, we had no worries--Fuzzy learned to hit very hard and choke her prey, as well as attack with her back claws. She adapted.
That said, we would not declaw a cat again. I would much rather just train them not to claw, because it really isn't all that hard to do, and if you provide the cat alternatives to clawing your furniture, it will choose the alternative with the right training.
Catnip goes a long way
