What to do in case of at scratch fever

To Claw or  declaw? It is a common problem: "Although we are a family friend cat-sitting, we came home from vacation to find my favorite seat mate will be our two cats' preferred scratching area. Cloth upholstery in the same arms of the chair is in pieces. "
In situations like these, it is not difficult to understand why many cat owners will automatically schedule their young for a cat declawing. But before you make this decision, please consider the following alternatives to declawing your cat:
1st Scratch post. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly and cats gotta scratch. A scratching post gives your cat a good place to do what he's "gotta" I. Make sure it is firmly and hold it close to an area your cat likes to be.
2nd Training. The key to training your cat is for him not to realize you do this. There are products that can be used for upholstery or curtains designed to reject cats. Always test the product in an inconspicuous area for colorfastness. A major effect spray gun is a great tool to warn Kikki Lee until you realize he is the source of the dam. If the cat is clear you are the enforcer, he will just change its behavior when you are in his eyes.
3rd trimming cat's claws. This job sounds like something from one of Dave Letterman's Top 10 list, but once your cat get used to attention, it is not as scary as you might imagine. If you are interested, YouTube has many videos showing the proper way to trim a cat's claws - or you can ask your veterinarian.
4th Soft Paws. Developed by veterinarian Toby Wexler, Soft Paws are vinyl nail caps for cats. The product comes in various sizes and colors and are arranged products 4-6 months. For more information, see Soft Paws website.
The introduction of each alternative to declawing is best done with the kittens before bad habits are formed. If you can provide a scratching post before kitten discovers he just loves the texture of your new sofa fabric under its claws, your job training is much easier.
If you're trying to decide whether or not to declaw your cat, give your vet a call. Your veterinarian can help you make the decision that is right for you, your cat - and your furniture!
