Glad to hear you have done your homework and pretty much concluded that declawing is unfair . . . how about a bean bag chair?? Still portable, but sturdier.


Years ago I had a waterbed and a cat that enjoyed chasing my legs/feet around under the covers. I had a cheapo pad and she promptly stuck a claw through into the bladder. I then invested in a heavy thick pad that covered down the sides, too . . . problem solved!
