They are glue on nail caps that cover the claws. My cats got used to them pretty quickly.

No you cannot. That’s horrible.

I declawed my cats years ago when I brought home a micro preemie and I just was too scared for something to happen to her. It didn’t change their personalities and no issues afterwards. That said I wouldn’t do it again just because I know more about it now. The cats that I declawed have since passed and I have new cats now with their claws. Some of my furniture is ruined but that’s just what you have to deal with if you have cats.

No. It's abusive torture.

How about we amputate both your arms.

Dogs can be destructive too

Of course, but I’m not putting fleece blankets all over my house to protect my furniture from my two dogs.

Cats are absolutely not worth all the trouble.

Well you really should be. Nobody wants to share furniture with a dog. I love my dog, but hard no.

You can trim your cat's claws without chopping off their fingers to the knuckle. Give it a try. I have to wrap my cat in a towel like a burrito because she does NOT enjoy it, but it stops her from damaging things/people if she scratches them.

This is why I don’t own a cat. I love them, but am unwilling to have my house destroyed.

Jeez, just use a pair of clippers Anna skip the tips off. It’s not rocket science.

You can or double stick tape on the places he scratched to discourage it. Cats don’t like sticky surfaces. You’ll need to replace it every day or two until the habit is broken, but that shouldn’t take more than a week or so.

Except . . . it's not. Inhumane is letting them breed uncontrollably. They recover very quickly.

Declawing cuts off their fingertips to the bone. And it's very, very painful for them (my parents declawed our cats in the 80's).

Not the same thing. Not even close.

Scratching is how they sharpen their nails.

Put blankets on your furniture. We have all of ours covered with fleece blankets. Easy to clean, prevents cat hair from getting on the furniture and they don't scratch fleece.

When company comes, we take the blankets off and put the cats in the bedroom.
