Declawing a cat is extremely painful and traumatizing to them, and many vets will not even perform the procedure since it is so inhumane. But sometimes it can seem like the only option, especially if your cat is constantly clawing holes in your furniture, carpet, and walls. However, I strongly advise to try everything else possible before resorting to declawing. Check out these tips by Pippa Elliot at Wikihow to stop your cat from scratching today:
-Purchase at least one scratching post for your cat and place it strategically
-Use your tone of voice to scold your cat when he gets near furniture
-Use a spray bottle of water to stop your cat’s behavior
-Cover problem furniture
-Keep your cat’s claws neatly trimmed
