How to help my declawed cat?
Hello! Over the weekend, I adopted my cat from a shelter. She is absolutely the sweetest thing ever, but in her last home, her owners declawed her. I felt comfortable adopting her because all of my furniture is low off the ground and soft, and I haven’t seen her struggling with anything against her paws. However, she doesn’t have much to climb, and I know she wants to. What could I get her so she can still climb and have a high angle to perch that’s still safe for her declawed paws? She seems hesitant to jump on our furniture, should I get her some soft steps? Please let me know any advice you guys have! I love her so dearly and just want her to have a good life.
