Cat help needed

[XMcShiftersonX]

I agree with the sticky tape. Petsmart sells sheets of it specifically for this problem. I also second the keeping her nails trimmed, as that typically causes less damage. They also have these plastic caps that you glue onto their nails, however, none of my cats would ever cooperate with me long enough to get those things glued on. So, I don't know if they actually work. Our cats love our couch and they've already ruined it so we just put slip covers over it.

I'm so glad you've decided not to declaw. I used to be an adoption counselor for a no kill shelter, and they had a room full of "unadoptable" cats that peed on everything because they were declawed. It becomes their only defense mechanism since their main one was taken away. I would pick clawing at furniture any day over a cat who pees all over the house, because I've had that problem before too and it's the worst!

Good luck!
