Hubby saw Barclay shredding the couch this morning and got furious. He said either Barclay gets declawed or we will have to rehome him.

I've tried the soft paws...but we can't get them on ourselves and the vet charges $25 every time we have to get him to do it.

Truthfully, he is killing the couch and the carpet on the stairs. I don't know what to do. I yell his name when I catch him doing it, but he only moves to another spot. I've tried to spray him with a water bottle and it only stops hijm for awhile, and obviously I can't be here all the time, so he still gets away with it.

Hubby wants me to make an appointment by the end of the day.

Please help. I've been fighting this for the last couple of years, but I'm about to lose the battle.
