Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Unfortunately no. I would keep her nails trimmed, cutting them every 2-3 weeks. You can cover your bed with a blanket to protect your good bed cover. And you can apply nail caps. Other options is to keep her off the bed with noise deterrents. Kneading is a natural behavior for cats. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/soft-claws-clear-cat-nail-caps I wish you the best!
