Glenn and Lorraine, our last cat lived to 13 and was an outdoor cat and the master of his domain. He was not declawed. We have had indoor cats with just front claws removed, and we all, including the furniture, survived. Our current cat was not declawed and he pretty much behaved with the stick-house furniture. However, when we started fulltiming, he really, really did NOT like traveling and started to go after the furnishings. We felt he was too old (6 years) to be declawed, so he has gone to live with our son. While we miss Sammie, we're all happier and he no longer claws the furniture. The laser does sound like the way to go - less painful. Good luck to your friends in making their decision.
