Cut another rectangle to make your back elastic casing, size 10 inches x the width of your elastic plus 1/2 inch. My elastic is 1 inch, so my casing width is 1-1/2 inches (the 1/2 inch is for seam allowance). 3. Sew your elastic casing right sides together along the long edge, taking a 1/2-inch seam allowance.ut another rectangle to make your back elastic casing, size 10 inches x the width of your elastic plus 1/2 inch.

We had a cat declawed at Banfield a few years ago; I can't remember the exact cost but it was around $200-$300 for everything including updated vaccines, pain meds, antibiotics. The cat is TOTALLY fine and recovered (up and walking) the NEXT day. We plan to get our new cat declawed as well.
Cats are declawed by a veterinarian cutting off the last joint of the toes on their front feet (and sometimes back feet). This removes the entire claw structure, the tendon and muscle that extends and retracts the claw, and severs the nerves running to the claw. It is extremely painful, and is painful for days after the operation. I have no idea how much it costs in terms of money; in terms of psychological and physiological damage to the cat, the cost is immense. Please DO NOT DECLAW YOUR CATS. If your furniture is more important than your cat, don't get a cat.
