If cats have soulmates, I think Eve needs to meet Rollie. Rollie can't keep his damn hands off my couch. And he usually does his scratching when he knows I'm in the bathroom and can't get to him...
My black cat, Ruby, paws the window at ungodly hours of the morning to let us know that she has an "offering" for us. Nothing says 'love' like a headless mouse on the front porch.
I hope you'll consider de-clawing (especially if she's an inside-only cat) as an alternative to death. =) Though my own cat (claws intact) bugs the HECK out of me by clawing the corner of my BED. She likes the smooth, tight fitted sheet. There are HOLES in my SHEET.
Dumb cats.
If only the scratching post or the squirt bottle would work like they do with normal cats. See, Eve has a scratching post, but she only uses it for perching. And she LOVES to get wet. She used to scratch on the speakers just so she'd get a little shower. She scratches on the couch, the new chair, the bed, the rug, the wicker hamper, and my legs and butt. And she chews on everything else, including my purse straps, credit cards, blankets, electrical cords, flowers, books, loose paper, anything made of cardboard, and any exposed flesh. She's a demon I tell you! (BTW, Happy Three-Years-Since-Your-Adoption, baby girl! Momma loves you!)

Perhaps Eve needs a scratching post?
See, Rollie HAS a post, but he likes to test out the couch first. Upon the yelling and the water squirting, he THEN runs to the post...
heh
