Declawing is a cruel and unnecessary form of torture but since you're cat is already declawed it sounds like this is the source of its anxiety. When a cat loses its claws, it's the human equivalent of chopping off the tops of our fingers right at the top knuckles. Imagine how irriated, worried, frustrated, upset we'd be if we couldn't scratch ourselves when we itched or - for a cat - if it couldn't scratch or stretch in its normal behavioral patterns and urges. Go to an animal behaviorist and do your cat a favor - put him on some buspirone.
