    Has anyone out there ever clipped their cat's rear claws?  Without
rekindling the old declawing/clipping debate, all of my cats have all of
their claws.  Although they are pretty considerate about not intentionally
clawing the furniture, they manage to ruin table tops by sliding onto and
jumping off of them (even though they are not "allowed" on them in the first
place), marring the finish with their rear claws.  I am about to get a new
table which I would rather not see damaged; should I clip their rear nails
as I do the front ones?
