@talkingpeanut@Columbine I want to thank you 2 and everyone else who has tried to help me out. Tensions are high in our house at this point. I refuse to have Lexi declawed and my wife says that time is up. She wants the tape and plastic furniture guards off of our couches, etc. It is clear to...

@Columbine, I don't think you understand what I'm working against here.  Lexi is  feanow 6 months old and has been in the house for slightly over 2 months.  The cat should be trained to scratch only in designated places by now according to my wife.  She house trained our now 7 year old dog in 2...

I'm Greg and I'm brand new here.  I have a 5 1/2 month old domestic shorthair name Lexi.  I'm determined to let her keep her claws and make my best effort at teaching her to scratch only on her her things designed for that purpose.  My spouse would rather I have her declawed as we did with our...
