[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 116376"] Other than artfully placed throw blankets to cover the shredded spots, you mean? [img]:rofl:[/img] The claws in the leg thing will get better with age. And so will the pouncing. When we first got Abbey, I was just one big scab from thigh to knee. She would jump in my lap by grabbing hold of my thighs cause she was too little to make it all the way up. They do use their claws less as they get older. Except for Baby Kitty. She scares me. But, she's got a few marbles missing, too. She's the exception to that rule. When I really needed to break Abbey from doing something, I would pick her up by the scruff of her neck (like her mother would do) and remove her from wherever she was. She didn't seem to return once I did that. At least not til the next day. LOL However, she's little. If he's too big, you could hurt him if you don't do it right. We get the cardboard kitty scratchers from Walmart. They come with catnip. We go through about 2 a month with 3 cats. They've really left the furniture alone a lot more since we got it. It's like having toddlers. You adjust to it, then go back to normal. Fortunately, that phase goes by faster in cats than in kids. [img]:wink:[/img] I won't declaw either. [/QUOTE]
