                                                          You can..but I never have, I don't see why people do. Cats shed claws naturally and if you're concerned about furniture, behavior training is easily done with a squirt gun, my cats never needed to be squirted twice. Scratching posts made of corrugated cardboard work a treat, and the cats love them. Worst case, you can buy claw caps.
