So, is it possible to train a 6 month old kitty to do anything besides crap in a box. I don't want her to do tricks or anything, but if I could just get her to behave I would feel oh so much better about the situation.
She's not declawed or spayed yet due to the fact I just never seem to have the extra $150 or whatever layin around, and I'm sure that would help considerably, but I would really like to get her to stop eating plants, jumping on tables, and clawing the living hell out of my furniture and carpeting.
Any suggestions?
sorry bout the kitty's, I just woke up and my brain doesn't work yet

A potato sack, a large rock, and a river.
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
Numero uno. Have her fixed. Now. It will only get worse and I can't bleieve that the local SPCA can't do it cheaper.
Spend $4 at Target and buy one of those catnip scratch rectangle thingies. It's about 5" by 24" and every cat loves to scratch the hell out of them
Then if you still can't get them to stop, do what I do. Everytime you catch it doing something, say scratching the couch, grab it by the neck, push its face into the same spot and beat it within an inch of its life. Repeat as necessary.
Worked for me.

Has there been any exploration into genetically engineering dogs and cat's yet. Wouldn't that be cool to have a dogsized cat that could sit, fetch, and kill on command?
Make sure you "replace" your furniture with kitty friendly digs. If you have a seperate room from where your furniture is getting destroyed, put in a cat tower some towels or shirts, a cardboard box and maybe an old piece of furniture you wouldn't mind her climbing on. Make the couch off limits, if she gets close spray her. Soon she will stick with the cat furniture instead of your furniture.

Spray the cat with a little squirtgun/bottle when she jumps on the table.
This only makes my cat run away until I stop looking, for the most part.
Why do people beat the crap out animals when they do stuff like peeing, pooping, scratching when their is no way to open the damn door? Oh yea and get your cat neutered for sure..helps everything
When one of my cats gets up on the kitchen counter or goes for my food, I just blow in their face. That generally makes them back down. But my cats are pretty creative with tricks of their own. The two kittens can stand on their hind legs rather well and carry things (like bottlecaps and silverware) around in their mouths *and* paws, they can all open doors, etc. Makes life a little bizarre.

You cannot train a cat to do much. If you want it to behave, just carry a small suirt bottle and if it does somethin bad give it a nice squirt. Thats all, as it gets older everything fun about it now will fade into a big fat lump that sleeps by your feet.

If you're lucky, it'll sleep *on* your feet. And it won't destroy all your Venetian blinds.

That's why you play, "kick the kitty"
Credits go to the creators of South park and giving Kyle and Ike the whole kick the baby scenerio.

Cats can be trained to behave, but it takes a lot more time than to train a dog. Start when they're young and be consistant. You have to be more stubborn than the cat (and they are stubborn as hell). What takes a dog a couple days to learn may take months to get a cat to comply with.
Don't designate certain furniture "okay to scratch". Give them one of those things Neph mentioned, or a standard scratching post. Even better, get the money together to have the thing fixed and declawed.
Tip for mellowing out crazy cats: Catnip. Yes, they'll go bonkers for about 15 minutes, but then they sleep like logs.
My cats have always loved carboard for scratching on. They've never scratched my couch. Yeah, you've gotta clean up carboard droppings when they're done, but it's better than having shredded furniture.
