everyone else is right - make SURE you won't be changing your mind about it being an indoor cat, since if it goes outdoors it will have trouble defending itself without front claws (the back ones don't get removed).
but it will heal and be fine very quickly after being declawed - and for the people who say "we don't know about the psychic damange done to the cat by declawing" --- we don't know about the psychic damage done to shrubs by trimming them, either. my cats have always been happy, fine and fun to be with after being declawed - haven't seen any signs of psychic damage yet
