Any rabbit owners here?
Do they really get litter trained?

My daughter has an evil cat from heck who is scratching his way into an early grave if he destroys one more piece of furniture- is declawing an option?
It’s that or the SPCA- she literally has cost me thousands of dollars in damage to carpets and chairs.

Rabbits really can be litter trained. I knew a family who had three indoor pet rabbits and they used litter.

Rabbits can be litter trained. But they do have a tendency to chew through electric cords if not properly trained.

Cats can be declawed. Cat's claws can also be clipped, which should be your daughter's job.

She can clip their nails or put those little nylon covers on them. I knew several cats that had those caps on their nails and they looked rather glamorous.

My wife had three cats and all had the front claws removed. They were happy, healthy, and did not scratch anything at all. You would think they could not defend themselves, but they learned to punch with those front paws.

Cats can be declawed, but if they are they should be kept inside or only let out on a harness and lead for supervised exercise. I did have one cat who was declawed, and then decided to spend much of her daytime outside. It turned out OK for her, but the urban bobcat and coyote population was much lower back then.

Declawing is really a misnomer. They don’t remove the just claw, they remove the last section of each toe at the knuckle. I’m not a cat fan but that seems to go too far. Your daughter’s cat would probably be welcomed at a horse farm as a companion and mouse hunter.

Yes, we had a Mini Lop who was litter trained. She was 10 when she died. Nice quiet affectionate pet you had to keep her teeth trimmed.
