I have a cat that is tearing the hell out of my furniture - I am about to take it to the pound or get it declawed.

Taking a cat to the pound is an option, however you may want to explore other alternatives. You could talk to your veterinarian about options such as removing the cat's teeth, instead of declawing it, which should help prevent any further damage to your furniture. You could also use a feng shui or cayce approach to redesign your home to prevent any further damage, or try using scratching posts or soft materials that cats would find more comfortable to scratch on.
