Cinder sounds just like Bo, a sweet and well behaved kitty! Cute pic of Cinder, no wonder she's the Cat's Meow!
Bo has all of her claws but knows just where to scratch and where not to. We just installed new carpeting, and the only mishap she's done so far is to throw up in the hallway this morning. Fortunately, I caught the mess early and cleaned it up before it could stain.
