Rather than start a new thread on this, my GF and I are getting a kitten this weekend and I am glad I found this thread, excellent ideas. Neither of us have ever owned a cat before and any other advice not metioned in this thread is appreciated.

I am kind of worried about the clawing of furniture, and the product Dom posted looks like it has some promise, just curious if there are any testimonials? Also, aside from this or the squirt gun idea, anything else to prevent it?

Excellent thread guys.
