Soft Paws

My husband and I adopted 2 kittens a while ago they are 4months old now and I would love to get these for them to keep them from scratching not just my furniture but from scratching me and the kids. MY husband on the other hand dosnt believe they would work. I wouldent mind getting some just to test them out. Ooh well we will see over time.

I am afraid I don't really agree with them, cats are very independent animals and I wouldn't imagine they would be comfortable with them, nature gave them claws for reasons and if they go outside at all they need those claws...

Have you had any success with these? I have seen them in the pet store but I haven't purchased them because I was afraid my cats would just pull them off. I may give them a try just to see how it works though.

My husband looked into these because our cat is constantly tearing up our furniture despite all the scratching posts we've made available to him. I've wondered if they really work.

I've always wanted to try them. Perhaps I will, but I am skeptical that they'll just come off. My cats would probably bite them off or something. But, we'll see. How long have you been using them, and do you use them for a cat or for a dog?

The one reason I wouldn't want to get a cat is because i'm worried about my furniture. If these work that would be great. But what about if you have an outdoor cat and they need to defend themself or try to run up a tree away from a dog, are these ok for outdoor cats?

They sound great! I will have to check them out for my female cat. She claws me just getting on and off my lap!

I think this is a really good idea for cat owners but I think my dog would chew them off. Thanks for the information Ill have to check this out for my cat.

I know of those and always wondered if they would work or not. I guess I thought they might be irritating to the cats feet rubbing on their paws. I guess if someone is having a severe clawing issue they would be worth trying. Certainly they are more humane than a declaw. I would never, ever do that!

i think they are pretty neat stuff, if i were having any pet i would absolutely have gone for the kits, i think it would in many ways prevent claw marks.

My daughter used these on her cat. The cat figured out how to get them off though so it wasn't a long term solution. It's a great idea though! Also a great option other than declawing.

I tried them, The dogs didnt like them and wont hold still long enough, so bottom line, they were not worth the truoble, because they were just got chewed off

does it really works? and can i get it in the netherlands as well?

This is one information I will truly make use of. I will ask the veterinarian to give me a year supply of this.

i am sorry for asking this but is it safe for the unsuspecting kitty or the doggie that lives with you? what if they bite it and chew it and chokes. i am sorry if this is a dumb question. if it is harmless for the poor thing than i am happy for the furniture.

I tried them, they're crap. The wouldn't stay on. It's easier just to keep your cats claws clipped.

This my be a little outspoken but I mean it as a genuine comment .. my own view of putting these 'caps' on cats claws is that it's pretty much an abuse of your pet .. if it's the furniture you are worried about then there are excellent sprays that will do the job without having to resort to such methods as 'capping' their claws .. When cats go outside they use their claws for to help with climbing, for self defense against another cat .. even when they are just running they put out their claws to gain purchase on the ground .. if they are jumping down from a height however small they use their claws to help stop themselves .. Using the caps will inevitable mean your pet is likely to have more 'accidents' in it's daily life ... so for goodness sakes take these horrible things off .. buy some clippers and learn how to keep your pets claws trimmed, our vets here in the UK will often trim claws for free .. find out if you can get it down near you .. And you know they will chew them off eventually .. they may seem a cheap answer to cats clawing the furniture but if you have to pay out for a major operation to remove the cap from it's insides you will be in for a very expensive and big shock !! Shakes head . whatever is the world coming to .. 'caps' for cats claws .. good grief !!

Does it really stay on even if your pet scratches hard, or digs, or licks or tries to bite if off? I'm concerned if it doesn't stay on and it gets swallowed by your pet. Guess, it is better to keep those nails short rather than putting these on.

Hi there...these are wonderful for cats who do not need to go outdoors or are not too obsessive with chewing them off. For those who cannot get their cats to stop chewing them off here's an instructional video by Cornell Univ College of Vet Medicine on how to trim a cat's nails: http://www.felinevideos.vet.cornell.edu/trimming_claws/full_movie.shtml

these are cool! :) i wonder if they sell these in the philippines...
