Default Re: Getting a cat

Don't declaw, but do keep their claws clipped regularly. If you get them used this early on, they'll be fine with it and you can do it yourself in 2 minutes. If for some reason your cat freaks out and won't let you clip their claws, your vet can do it. Keeping their claws trimmed means less damage to furniture. Also, make sure you're giving them a scratching post and encouraging them to use it, in addition to discouraging them from scratching your furniture.
