Well, I will admit, there has been a noticeable change in the racket (noise) after their back claws were clipped/snipped. I don't hear the dreaded "screeeeetching" noise when they leap for the headboard on my bed and/or onto the kitchen cabinets when I am in the kitchen. They also don't seem to be tugging at the back claws as much as they had been doing before the clipping. I wonder if they were distressed by the length of their claws as much as I was?!! Since they are inside kitties, my guess is that the claws were not being shortened naturally. Oh well. I consider my decision to be a good one, and they managed to cooperate THIS TIME!
