Until recently, you dealt with your cat clawing the furniture by one of two ways: declawing the cat or learning to tolerate the scratching (and hoping the cat will use a scratching post, but some just won’t do it). Now there is an alternative: vinyl claw caps, glued onto your cat’s nails (generally by a vet) and replaced every month or so as the
old nails grow out. The cat still goes through the motions of clawing (as do declawed cats), but the claw caps keep the claws from doing any serious harm.
