: removing a cats ability to use its claws is one of the cruelest things you can do to a cat. I'd go as far to say it is barbaric. If you have a problem with your cat scratching the furniture, buy a cat scratcher and a plant spray. Spray the cat when they scratch anything they shouldn't and treat them when they use the cat scratcher. If you feel the need to use "soft paws" or mutilate a cat by amputating its digits - fingers, thus removing the claws, then don't have a cat. Cats need their claws for security and balance, removing their ability to flee, to fight or to scratch damages the cat mentally, it is incredibly cruel. Please don't do it.
