Hello Kim
I was also thinking of declawing my cat a few years back then
I read what they actually do.
I dont know if you researched it but here is a link
if you would like to read up on it before you make a decision

My little brat scratches things even though i have towers and the cardboard scratchers
Some things i also had to put the double sided sticky tape on.
I love her to death so I just deal with it....

We would love to see pictures of your babies
