I didn't know this until my g/f and I adopted our first cat (we now have 2) but declawing is an amputation. It would be like taking a finger off at the first knuckle so the nail doesn't grow any more.
As far as low maintenance they are very self reliant but having 2 is great. We noticed a big change in our first cat when we got our second.
I am a dog person and I love our cats :P.
