My husband and I are adopting a cat today from the Humane Society. The cat is 4 years old, and has not been declawed. I feel it would be inhumane to do declaw her, but I am worried about her scratching my furniture, and me as well. Does anyone have any alternitives to declawing, or how to prevent her from scratching the furniture.
And any other tips for a new cat owner would be appriciated.
just declaw it. it's just a little operation the kitty goes through n trust me you'll be happy you did, because it wont be able to scratch you or ur furniture up. before ne of this happens though take ur new cat home n see how it reacts to the house. since it's 4 years old it shouldn't be too hyperactive. so it shouldnt be all a/b scratchin up ur house or you *on purpose*

this is a response to the feedback you gave me. it would be tramatic for any cat to get their claws taken out. n if you would have read a little more carefully i told you that you should take the cat home to see how it reacts to the place. that way you can see if it claws up ur furniture or not, so then you'll know if you have to find something to do about it if it was clawing it up! if it does scratch then get a scratch post for it. but im telling you, declawing it would be so much easier.
(Rating: 2) Declawing you cat is like removing your first knuckle. Also the cat is 4 yrs old. It would be very tramatic to have it's claws removed after this much time.
