Vet Clinic refuses to declaw cats

[Catherine]

Sally is pretty and she looks very healthy. She is smart isn't she. She has set places that she scratches and she sticks to those places.

I would think that you could train a kitten to scratch in certain places, the same way you teach it where the litter pan is. If you were consistent in your teaching I am sure the cat would learn and would stick to set spots. Of course the set spots would have to be things a cat would want to scratch, not things we think a cat would want to scratch.

It would also, help to buy pet friendly furniture. I don't think that is too much to ask.
