Clawed: having claws. Declawed: removed or surgically shortened the claws of an animal, typically a cat, often to prevent damage to furniture or people.

In cats, declawing can be a controversial topic, as it can cause discomfort, pain, and even long-term effects on their behavior and physical health.
