>would be best to have her new cat declawed because of the ferrets.
>Yes?  No?
 
I have two cats that play with my 8 ferrets.  Believe me the cats are the
losers in most of the "battles".  One poor cat is daily harrased with
a ferret hanging off of her.  The other cat attacks them too and they
wrestle.  The cats claws are retractable and she swats with them in, in a
playful mood.  I also clip everyones nails weekly or as needed.  I usually
don't do the cats rear legs.  So my long, drawn out answer is....No, don't
declaw!

p.s. all animals have their own likes/dislikes-it is important to monitor
their reactions to each other before leaving them unattended.
