The simple question is, how will she defend herself or climb from danger outdoors without claws? Re the collar. DO NOT put a collar on a cat. My daughter's nearly one-year-old cat bled, unnoticed, for hours one night after catching his collar in his MOUTH, attempting to rid himself of it. When he was finally found, she said he acted as if "in shock." The vet was ANGRY that anyone would collar a cat.
