Ok, I'm looking for some humane alternatives to declawing a cat THAT ACTUALLY WORK.�We were going to have our stray kitty that we took in declawed. We have really nice furniture & I work WAY too hard to let my possessions get ruined by a cat (it's happened in the past.) He's got an appointment Monday for all of his shots & ball removal, & was ALSO going to be declawed. But he's about 3 yrs old & 10.6lbs, & the more I research declawing, the more it makes my stomach turn. I love my sweet boy too much to put him through that, so we've decided against declawing. With that being said, I will NOT allow a cat to ruin my furniture. Period. So we are looking for alternatives that really & truly work. Maybe some first hand testimonies as well? Thanks!
@Heathur: kitty caps claw covers. Mgw has used them on his cats in the past and says they work.
