Here´s an alternative to declawing your cat or kitten: You can trim your cat´s nails to lessen the damage they cause, if you do not want to have him surgically declawed. Cats that are kept indoors need a regular manicure to prevent their nails from becoming overgrown.

Trimming your cat´s claws should be started at a very young age so that they become accustomed to the procedure. Trying to force an adult cat to having its nails trimmed can be dangerous. In this case, let a professional groomer do the job - they know how to handle a reluctant kitty.
