Never has with the ones we adopted that were declawed. Fur is very
protective and they rarely use them (if ever) on each other anyway.

I also have a mixed house. One of mine came to me declawed. Also, I do cat
rescue and have had declawed recues from time to time. No problems. Most of
time cats hiss and growl, they don't actually fight once they are altered.
The only time I have had claws come out was a rescued Bengal who came to me
pregnant. After the kittens were born one of my guys slipped into the room
they were in and she drove him away with fur flying.

At work we have one declawed cat and one who has her claws.  Harriet, the
declawed cat, was adopted that way at the age of 1 1/2 years.  Stinky
(clawed) was adopted at the same time at the age of 3 months.  Stinky
terrified Harriet in the beginning and Harriet would avoid her or hide.
After awhile, I guess when Harriet felt completely at home, she would
retaliate whenever Stinky tried to start something.  Now all Harriet has to
do is glare at Stinky and she backs away.  Stinky jumps on Harriet in a
playful way only, but Harriet hates it and she will try to take a mouthful
of Stinky with her if she gets the chance.  In my case, it's the clawed cat
we have to worry about!

I've had no problems with declawed cats among my clawed. It will likely go
better for your friend if she seeks some advice on how to properly introduce
a new kitten into her current household. The less stress for both felines,
the less likelihood that there will be any fighting.

Three clawed, one declawed. Declawed one (Alex) beats the s**t out of
the others, except for Jacob, who is actually the smallest and oldest
of the bunch. Jacob is a studmuffin.

It's a kitten.
So it wouldn't be able to do anything
to the grown cat with it's baby claws.
And you raise them to get along, not fight.
Shouldn't be any problems as long as she
takes the time to teach the kitten as
it's growing up.

Thanks everybody.  I was pretty confident in telling my friend there
would be no problem, but I guess I needed backup to bolster that
opinion!  Also, for those of you who mentioned the issue of
transitioning the kitten into the new home, rest assured that I've
been very explicit in explaining the necessary steps and cautions to
all my adoptors!

Thanks again!
