Need Cat Advice!

Hi Reddit, I need some advice regarding my adopted female cat. She is a calico who is around 2-3years old.

We adopted her from a shelter, so we don't know too much about her past. What we do know is that she loves humans and does not do well with other animals.

She is very clingy and requires a lot of attention which normally is not a problem for me since I love her so much.

However, we've had her for almost a year now, and we were thinking about introducing a new kitten into our lives to help her socialize more with her species and to give her a companion that can be with her 24/7; however, I don't know if this is smart as she gets very defensive around other animals.

Any input or advice?

How do I catproof my porch for my cat, so he doesn't escape?

I live in a condo complex on the 2nd floor. My indoor cat likes to explore and lately he has been wanting to go on my porch. I want to let him out, but afraid he will jump over the wall and escape.

I have a month off and have some spare time to put together stuff. Any suggestions on what I can do to my porch to ensure he doesn't escape? Of course it's winter now and he won't be allowed out till it is warmer.. but figure I should look into what I can do and do it now and have it ready till it gets warmer now.

Help with cat scratching

Let me start by saying I know that a cat scratching is natural and all cats do it to some degree.
My cat seems to be needing/wanting to do it more recently. And he's destroying the carpet in my apartment (which I will have to pay for), scratching the mattress, the couch, etc. I've bought different scratching posts, brought home extra cardboard boxes (since he seems to love the ones I don't want him to scratch. Surprise! He doesn't give a shit about the ones i bring specifically for him), have tried to deter him with a spray bottle, covered the spot on the carpet with objects he can't move. I also tried the nail caps, which he just bit off. Nothing is helping because he continues to find new places in the carpet to tear or goes for the couch when I'm in the other room or not home.
Everything I've read says it's about territory for them, and I want to understand. The whole apartment is "his", he has free range of everything, including an entire bathroom that's his only. I have a vet appt Friday for his yearly checkup and I plan on discussing the possibility of having him declawed which I HATE thinking about doing because it's not nice but what else can I do?
