My cats are declawed in the front paws, which solves a LOT of issues. Leave the back claws alone-just declaw the front. It's worth it, as it saves furniture and other things.
As for the litter smell-BAKING SODA. Put it in the litter. Also, put the litter far away from the kitchen! A bathroom is good. Use a large storage tub, not a litterbox, cut a hole in it for them to get out and lock the top on after filling with litter. Place it so they can get in but have to go behind the box to do so-minimizes litter spreading.
Table: Water bottle with spray nozzle. Soak them if they get on the table or furniture. If it's not effective, a TINY bit of lemon juice-just a few drops-in the water or a VERY mild chili powder (mind the amount and strength!!) mixed in can be effective. I recommend Lemon Juice, though it's not as effective, because it helps make the air smell good and also is usually good enough to deter the behaviors.
You know what else works for the litter box odor? Diatomaceous Earth. Another plus to using the d.e., is that it deters/kills parasites both internal (worms) and external (fleas).
I found out about this product just fairly recently, and I really like using it for my pets as well as for myself as a supplement.
But, you've got to make sure it's Food Grade and not the other kind. The other kind is toxic.
Is it normal to dislike cats?
