It is illegal in many countries to have a cat de-clawed but not yet in the US. Do some research on the topic. You will find that de-clawing a cat is amputation of the first digit on the paw. The claws are attached to the first digit. In order to fully remove the claw and not have it grow back, the entire first digit must be removed. (This would be similar to you if you are looking at your fingers. Imagine the first portion of your finger, from nail to the first knuckle was removed. Your entire tip of your finger, Gone! Amputated! This is de-clawing in cats!) Muscles in the back are stretched all through the body and are connected to that first digit. The only way cats can stretch that muscle and work it for strength is by clawing at things, moving that first digit. If the first digit and claws are gone, that cat cannot work the muscles. When the cat ages, it will have pain in its back and neck due to this permanent amputation. Please think twice about doing this to your pet.

Can show cats be declawed?
Many cat shows do not permit declawed cats, and most, if not all, will not allow a pedigree breed that has been declawed to show. The Cat Fanciers' Association states that ALL cats, whether pedigree or Household cats, may NOT be declawed. All other cat shows associated with the CFA abide by these same rules. Naturally, in countries where declawing is banned, do not allow any declawed cats. The International Cat Association, however, do accept cats that have had their claws removed. This is one in a minority of cat associations that allow this.

'with two kittens' describe the cat. So, you should write 'is sleeping'. But if you mean that all three of them are sleeping, write 'A cat and his two kittens are sleeping'.
What do you do if a mother cat attacks her kittens?
I have never heard of this. If it should happen, obviously the kittens should immediately be taken from the mother and cared for separately. The mother should be taken to a vet to ensure that she is not ill.
