I used to clip Kissa's claws (the tricolour Kizzy is named in memory of) when she was an indoor cat but stopped doing it before I let her out to find a boyfriend just before she came into season the 2nd time (I'd also put a chair and some food out on the flat's landing and saw the 'boyfriend she bought back, a real 'pirate' of a Tomcat)I have to clip claws for showing.
Doesn't seem to bother the girls when they go out, and they do grow back remarkably quickly, especially the front ones. In any case, I wouldn't consider letting a wee toot like Sam outside for a fair bit yet, so if taking the tips off the claws spares @Mrs M from being shredded, it makes sense. I remember when Poppy was a kitten, how pincushioned it made me feel LOL.
