Please visit https://www.canadianveterinarians.net/documents/partial-digital-amputation-onychectomy-or-declawing-of-the-domestic-felid-position-statement for more details. Scratching is a normal behavior in cats but here are some tips to discourage unwanted scratching: feline pheromone sprays to redirect the cat to more desirable scratching materials; double-sided tape to deter cats from scratching the edges of furniture; regular nail trimming (recommended every two weeks); artificial nail covers such as Soft Paws environmental enrichment and appropriate daily play to decrease feline aggression; avoidance of hand/foot play which can lead the cat to see these human parts as prey; the application of basic principles of reinforcement of desirable behaviour, including the use of catnip, treats, and verbal praise. Please do no hestiate with any questions that you may have! We are here to help!
