The single most important thing(s) you will buy, by the way, is the scratcher(s). Corrugated cardboard scratchers are reasonably cheap and very effective; particularly if you get the ramp-style ones (cats really like that). They're usually better than the ones that are rope-covered freestanding columns, though some cats like those as well. Either way, get something for them to scratch on, or it will be your furniture that gets scratched on...

A good friend of mine back home though owns two cats and she and I argued somewhat about whether or not to declaw. She has had her cats declawed quite some time ago because she said that you can provide scratching posts for your cats, and they may still scratch some of your furniture along with using the post - her cats apparently were ruining her furniture.

Will using cat nip with scratching posts ensure exclusive use?
