I have heard of people doing this when they have strictly house cats but I would never do it. I have always had cats and they have clawed my couch etc (even with a scratch post provided) but its what you face if you want to own a pet. If you want a pristine house - don't have cats (or kids for that matter )

I have two cats and leather furniture. I don't have any scratches anywhere. Why have a cat if it can't go out? I'm thinking that sometimes cats scratch stuff because they're bored out of their wits.

The only problem I have is vaccuming up the cat hair. But I'm thinking of having them waxed... perhaps I should conduct a poll first?

No pussy-waxing jokes, please.

our cat doesn't go outside the house besides a fenced in area outside. There have been so many occurrences around here of kids torturing or killing cats, that don't want to take the chance.

Plus my idiot neighbor has a pit bull that they don't put on a leash. That thing has tried to kill me about five times, can't imagine what it will do to poor Don Corleone

I have two cats and both have scraped me, the wallpaper, the furniture, eachother etc.. I would never get their claws removed, maybe if their claws became too long or uncomfortable, I would have them trimmed, but never for my own comfort.

Wow, that is amazing, I have never met a cat that old, my family had a dog til she was like 19 though, she was much older than me, so I only knew her for a few years, but she was lively too, it's amazing how some animals can just be full of beans for so long and other ones get slow and ill so young.

He does have to take some tablets every day but he rules it over my other cat who's 7 and twice his size. He is still really active and happy, shiney coat, very purry, eats his head off... all that stuff. I hope your cat is the same at his age.

My vet recommended omega fish oil for my cat because he was a bit creaky. Have you tried that? I squeeze one capsule a day on his food, and he went from climbing up on to the chair, to jumping up.

I would never consider declawing my cats, although they have scratched me and the furniture cats need their claws for protection and without them they would face major disadvantages.
