Rhino,

I would never suggest declawing, so no worries there. I would strongly
suggest putting a scratching post near the areas they scratch, so they
scratch the post and not your bed/mattress.

Our youngest cat was scratching the boxspring near the front of our
bed, and I used Sticky Paws on that (the double sided tape sold for
deterring cat scratching). I'm not sure where the areas are, but you
could try using Sticky Paws over the area.

I've never heard of that product. How is it different from regular
double-sided tape? I can easily come up with double-sided tape but I'm not
sure where to find Sticky Paws. (I'm in Ontario, Canada so I don't know if
Sticky Paws is carried by Canadian pet stores.)

Problem solved! I just googled and Sticky Paws is available at Pet Smart.
There's one not too far from here so I should be good to go!

Thanks!

I second Sticky Paw if the area is not too big. I found it works very
well, but it is a bit pricey. When your cats use the scratching-on-
mattress tactic to wake you up in the morning, you need to provide
them with something else they can use, or they will scratch the carpet
or some other unsuitable area. My cats were scratching the carpet for
the same reason until we provided them with a sturdy cat tree. We
didn't even have to teach them to use it. They saw it, circled it,
sniffed a bit and then set to scratching. My carpet is now safe.

I used Sticky Paw on another bed, that was used for scratching in one
corner of the boxspring. Sticky Paw worked like a charm.
