[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 191881, member: 1233"] I have NEVER heard of something that makes the nail die and fall off. How on EARTH can that be pain free? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. How do they know it is pain free? We put catnip on our scratching post to make the cats use it. We dont' have to anymore because now they are attached to it. They do make these scratching things that are cardboard (they look like a small flat box filled with sheets of corrugated cardboard with the ends up) that every cat we had has loved. Never needed catnip on those. You can rub catnip in the scratching post or find spray catnip to put on things you want them to scratch. I have an aunt in Williamsburg OH who works part time for a vet. She says he does NOT remove the toe to declaw, just the nail itself. It would be worth calling to ask about if you can get to them. My aunt is a HUGE animal lover, and would never recommend anythign that would hurt the animal. I can get the vet's name and phone # if you want it. They also trim nails for a very reasonable price (free if it is a regular patient - and that amazed me, it is $2 per NAIL to get a pet's nails trimmed here!). I would keep a squirt gun handy to use every time you see the cat scratching. Also, you could make it a strictly outside cat, though that may or may not be a viable option. I oculdn't do it, but I know people who do. [/QUOTE]
