Dawn, although I haven't tried it, I know that some people have used Feliway with good results. My sister used it to keep her cats out of her potted, indoor plants and it did the trick.

I hope you can find a solution so that Barclay doesn't need to be declawed. I know that there are many, many cats who have been declawed and have done just fine, but it would have to be a last resort in my opinion, even after investigating rehoming to a better situation. I simply could not do it. Of course, both of my cats are indoor/outdoor cats and maybe that helps with some of the clawing issues that indoor only cats have. I see them "scratching" on trees and even the ground many times.

Good luck.
