If you've read many of my posts, you already know I'm an animal lover. 

Many home buyers are also animal lovers, but hate to think of what their sweet kitty might do to their new home's carpets, or to the new furnishings so lovingly selected for their new house.  While some will decide to declaw kitty, others may hesitate, it's drastic and painful.  I have the solution. 

It's called Softpaws.  Softpaws are soft little vinyl caps that cover your cat's claws.  They're applied with a strong adhesive and stay on until the cat naturally sheds that nail.  (About four to six weeks.)  The covers make the claws soft, not sharp, so you no longer have to worry about scratches or destructive behavior.  Your cat will continue with normal scratching behavior but no damage will result.  Of course these should be used ONLY on INDOOR cats.  They are comfortable for the cats and easy to put on.  Most cats will forget about them minutes after application.

In the picture you'll see my cat Aslan.  Aslan is MEAN and a boy, so for fun the kids and I decided he should wear pink.  :o)  The pink is easy to see against Aslan's dark fur, and my cat with white paws wears dark purple Softpaws.  I can see immediately if he's shed one, and if I find a Softpaw on the floor I know who has lost one.  In a multiple cat household, using different colors for each cat simplifies things.  They are available in a rainbow of colors as well as black, white and clear. 

Softpaws are also available for dogs, in case you are trying to protect easily scratched hardwood floors. 

Don't rule out a house you love because of your pet, don't declaw the pet you love because of a house.
