      Getting a cat de clawed is very cruel and over the years can harm the cat. The cat will lose its balance and pretty much have to learn to walk again. It also causes a lot of pain for them,  and they'll be confused as to why they can't climb or defend themselves. They also begin to not trust you. I highly don't recommend doing-if you still feel the need-i think about the time they are able to get fixed you can get them de clawed. But you will be paying a lot of money for it, and they may come back.
