Hell yeah, please ban declawing. It's inhumane. And no, I'm not a nut or even a vegetarian (and nothing wrong with vegetarians), I'm just sane.

The little silicone claw caps work well and they don’t seem to mind wearing them after you get shredded to pieces putting them on.

Scratching post plus some gentle tutoring did the trick for my two. I like that they have something to scratch - it looks comfy as fuck, they stretch while clawing stuff.

I have a some variety of scratcher on every corner of the couch. I have some rope ones, carpet ones, a low one. My cat really just prefers to scratch the couch. Any attempt to persuade her to scratch the scratchers, she sees as a fun game and scratches the couch more.

With my two, when they were ready to scratch the wrong thing, I simply picked them up and put them near the scratching post. No sweet talk, no scolding either - I didn't want to encourage them to scratch the furniture for attention.
