As far as declawing, neither of my pets have had any ill effects. We had Pickles for quite a while WITH claws, but he was scratching us both so much that we decided it was time. (Not to mention my woven throws, and shower curtain) Both of them sharpen their "claws". They are strictly indoor cats.
Debbie,

I feel this situation is probably a reaction to being declawed.

Maybe your DIL can contact a feline behaviourist, who might be able to help



PS. This is not a cue for a heated debate on declawing.
