Thanks for all the replies. I've never owned a cat so I wasn't aware of the facts surrounding declawing, but knew some of you would.

I did call my vet's office and they said they do prefer to do it as a kitten, but do it with cats also. Front declawing is only $87.00. They did say the safe paws (nail covers) don't work. They said it was a painful surgery and recovery was about a week.

I think we will try to see about getting covers for the couch ends and try the water bottle method first.

Thanks again.
