If you are going to have pets {cat or dog} in doors then deal with furniture & or what ever in a manner that does not hurt or discomfort your babies.. WOW I will get off my soap box now ..
I completely agree!! if you are so worried about you realy nice furniture, well you shouldnt have cats or dogs!! i could care less if my cat scratches stuff. i can get new stuff. I had found a cat across the street from my house(I live in the boonies, and across the street is nothing but woods and field!) anyways, i found this big orange tiger cat, he was meowing and looked pretty thin, and had some fur loss. so i picked him up and brought him inside. I was checking him over nad found out he had no claws!! i couldnt believe it here was this poor cat running around outside and he had no claws!! poor baby!! so I kept him inside and took care of him , until the day he passed on(vet seems to think he was in his late teens) but what if i had not found him??? cats and dogs should only be altered as far as spaying an neutering!! they should not be declawed, de-barked or anything else.
