I love that pic
I saw it somewhere else though...
If you can go without declawing you should. To declaw a cat they remove all of the front toes form the first knuckle. I have two cats and while we do not have an Italian leather sofa, they have never clawed the funirture. Get a good scratching post (better yet, build one) and you shouldn't have any troubles. It also helps to keep a spray bottle or squirt gun full of cold water to adjust any attitudes as necessary.
