In conclusion:
Verbal threats have little to no impact on the behavior of pets. The cat seems wholly unaffected by the possibility of having his head eaten.

Yeah, the other day I threatened to cut his paws off and throw them in the bin if he didn't stop clawing the couch, and that didn't scare him in the slightest. Maybe we should get his ears checked?

You are correct. Cats regard threats as sooo beneath them. I recommend a period of incarceration. Minnie spent three weeks at the vet's boarding establishment while I was away, and I can report she is a changed catperson! Friendly, purring, wanting to sit on my knee.... This is unprecedented, people. But she still claws the sofa. Sigh
