Iv got the 2 most awesome cats ever but...one has some crazy issues. I have a male DMH and a female siamese. Well when night hits as everyone knows, they get the night crazies. But my girl will come running out of the spare bedroom and try to dart down the stairs but for some strange reason she misses the stairs and hits the small divider wall between the stairs and the hallway. She then jumps up the wall and hangs on with her claws. She has gotten to be a pro at this and now jumps almost 6 feet in the air. She does this at one other point in the house which is a small divider wall going up the stairs. It almost seems like she doesnt understand she has to choose to go one way or the other. Im at my breaking point and my options are getting down to getting her declawed or getting rid of her. It breaks my heart but I cant have her doing this in the new house we are building. It is getting to be very destructive. I need help on what to do. Iv tried deterrent sprays which dont work because she runs to it and jumps. Yelling at her doesnt work nor does a spray bottle. They have a 6' cat tree and 3 scratching posts with in sight of these walls. And she isnt clawing, just jumping and hanging. Please help!!! I dont want to put her through the pain of being declawed and i dont want to give her up.
@Nicole4647: do not ever declaw. it's pretty brutal. you can trim the claws AND they make calming treats. both can be done at my work too.
