In April we fostered a pregnant feral cat who gave birth to 8 kittens shortly after. We are new to the cat world, it was quite an experience. We got them through a bout of ringworm & are now down to 3 kittens that we plan to keep. Needless to say 8 kittens with run of the house destroyed a lot of furniture including our couch & we will have to replace it.
The kittens will be spay/neutered in two weeks & we have been thinking of declawing at the same time. I've been told that scratching poles in every room & a spray bottle will solve my furniture problem & declawing isn't necessary. Can they be trained, even after five months of free access to the furniture? When it comes time to replace the couch what is better with cats, leather or cloth. Leather is great with dogs but how does it stand up to claws.
