I don't believe in declawing a cat. They have to remove part of the knuckle and it may cause them issues later on in life. Does anyone know of any more humane ways of stopping a cat from scratching at things? I have a big scratching post for them, and a chair I have given them, (or they took, who am I kidding? Haha!). I have heard of putting double sided tape on the area where they scratch and then after a while of getting stuck to it, they will stop trying that area. Has anyone tried this? I would think that they would just move to a new area and that's a lot of double sided tape. Hehe!
