Problems behaviors? No need to de-claw.

Try nail tips instead. Their are a few brands on the market but in my experience the Soft Paws brand works the best. A small rubber tip is gently attached to your pets nail with a non toxic adhesive. They typically last 4-6 weeks per application. They are commonly used for cats and also available for dogs.

Your cat can still scratch with Soft Paws allowing normal stretching and scratching behavior to continue without damaging your home or furniture, or causing discomfort for family members.

Disclaimer- I do not promote the use of these as an accessory, however I do feel they are humane alternative to de-clawing when all other options have been exhausted.   Professional application is important to insure your pets safety.
