Use a fingernail clippers to take the TIPS off the front claws--be extremely careful not to cut into the pink part where the blood supply is (it's painful and will bleed like crazy). That will at least help. Give them something to scratch on, or lay a blanket over the area they scratch to protect furniture. Yes, all baby animals loose their baby teeth and the adult teeth come in right after. Most people don't even notice it, and most kittens end up swallowing the loose teeth.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/online-degree/major-education-schools.htm"> Elaine M</a> Kittens can’t control their claws till they reach late puberty, about 6 months of age.
