Use a pair of nail clippers, and cut only the tip of the nail, taking care not to damage the vein, or &#8220;quick.&#8221; The nail hook is what tears upholstery, so removing it virtually eliminates the potential for damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Buy multiple scratching posts.<\/b>\u00a0Ideally, you should have two or more scratching posts in your home. Make sure that they&#8217;re sturdy and tall enough to allow your cat to stretch (3 feet or taller). Soft, fluffy carpeted posts\u00a0<i>won&#8217;t<\/i>\u00a0fulfill your cat&#8217;s clawing needs, so look for rougher posts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Teach your cat where to scratch and where not to scratch.<\/b>\u00a0Encourage your cat to use the scratching posts by sprinkling catnip on the posts once a week. Discourage your cat from scratching furniture by using a loud, firm voice whenever he or she starts to scratch\u2014cats don&#8217;t like loud noises! Never <b>use physical force.\u00a0Instead, you might try using a squirt<\/b><b> gun<\/b> full of lukewarm water directed at your cat&#8217;s back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"103279\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Declawing isn&#8217;t like a manicure.
