New girlfriend has just moved in and hates my cat. Suggests getting it declawed as it scratched her the other day. Is it worth it for the cat? He does scratch the doors sometimes which is annoying. I dont want to piss of my girlfriend so if its faorly painless will just get it done.

How do you train a cat to use a scratch post. I might suggest that first but will see what my girlfriend says. Essentially just put it up near where they like to scratch and reward them for using it while discouraging them from scratching where you don't want (I used a spray bottle) This has everything you need to know though: http://www.paw-rescue.org/cat_scratch.php --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant ...

Just buy one that would be appealing for a cat to a scratch and that's most of it (you can also use positive reinforcement with treats). Don't buy one of those shitty lightweight 1 foot tall ones. Cats want something they can stand up against and put their weight on, that's why couches tend to be appealing. You can get a good scratching post for around $40, I can try to find the one I bought off of Amazon. --- There's no business to be taxed. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Just asked my vet friend.
Don't declaw your cats. You're taking away a huge component of their natural behaviour. It affects their ability to climb and stabilise themselves on surfaces, as well as them scratching being normal behaviour, and if they cant express normal cat stuff then it makes them incredibly stressed. It also removes the actual finger tip so causes quite a lot of pain and problems following surgery and can even cause chronic pain but we have no way of accurately telling in our own cats. They also may get fear aggression because they can't defend themselves so will be more likely to resort to biting if you put them in a position they can't avoid. Now you know. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

She says that if we keep the cat outside then we dont need to get it declawed. Reckon thats a good compromise.
