You may get a lot of mixed opinion about declawing an indoor/outdoor
cat.  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.
