[quote=Anonymous]A cat can usually take care of its own back claws so now you’re just left with the fronts. The easiest thing to do is sneak up on the cat when it’s sleeping and trim one, maybe two, at a time, especially the ones that are the longest/sticking out the most. That will help the cat not claw you when it sits in your lap. Unfortunately some degree of “less than perfect furniture” comes with owning a cat or a dog, for that matter. They tend to like to scratch on things that are a rougher texture so like, low pile carpets and more canvas-like materials vs. softer/smooth microfiber. I’m not, like, hardcore against cat declawing. But you have to do it when they’re a kitten - adult cats notice a lot more since they’ve already lived a longer period of time with front claws. And you’d be hard pressed to find a vet that would even do it. That’s why all the declawed cats in shelters are all quite old. Even 10-15 years ago it was becoming uncommon, never mind today.
