as their paws are very sensitive. They don't just remove the claw - they remove the entire terminal phalanx. They lose their first line of defense against attack, or their ability to climb, though they can still jump.

It can also lead to litter box problems due to sore feet, and other behavioral problems.

Instead, buy a little animal toenail-clipper and clip the nails every few weeks. Cheaper, and MUCH more humane.

If I cared about the chair, I'd just put a cover over it for everyday use, so it'll be nice for company. But my cat's health & well-being is worth more than any piece of furniture.
