Only if your cat's indoor only.  If you let it live outside without 
claws, it's not going to be very fun from the cat's perspective.  Small, 
defenseless animals will no longer be such an easy target.  I say this 
from experience - when I was a kid, we had two indoor Siamese/Persian 
mixes that were declawed at 2, since we couldn't get them to quit 
shredding the upholstery - bad smells, scratching posts, you name it, 
nothing worked.

On the other end of spectrum, my wife's parents have an outdoor cat that 
occasionally deposits bunny pancreases on the doorstep.  It's a 
seriously happy cat, too :)
