Cat Soft Claws Nail Caps Blue Medium 10-15 LBs
Soft claws are okay, but occasionally fall off, you’ve gotta repeat the process every few weeks, some cats don’t like it, etc. For a cat that will never have to go outside, declawing is a good option as well. Some people may whine it’s inhumane–it’s not, the cat is put under as in all surgeries (which would all therefore be inhumane). As long as the cat will not be outside (and therefore doesn’t need to defend itself), declawing works GREAT. And only happens once. And it’s a lot more humane than my cat having to fend for himself after he gets booted to the pound for trashing all my furniture! Sorry PETA crybabies–Fluffy gots *permanent* softpaws now! LOL

I was initially intrigued by these. I trim my cat’s claws, but I forget sometimes, so I liked this idea. Also, it gives me a visual reminder when claws need attention, since they are colored. They are expensive, $15, but I splurged on them anyway. I’m not quite sure why other reviewers are complaining about them not sticking, the adhesive acts like superglue! I had a hard time getting the glue in the cap, but I did get it on my pants (my pants are ruined), hands (I had to unstick a couple fingers) and near (almost in) my eye. After that, they went in the trash. And, yes, as someone stated before this is a two person operation, but even then we had no luck. Best wishes to you, if you decide to try them anyway…

This product is great in theory. The plusses are, the cat didn’t notice them, they looked great on him, and while they lasted, they worked okay. The negatives are, the claws didn’t last long (maybe a week for half, two weeks for the other half) and that doesn’t fly with me for the cost of the item. I don’t believe this is a viable alternative to declawing my cat.

I got vinyl nail caps to curb the scratching (of me and of furniture) of two indoor cats. While they did this successfully and both cats are comfortable having their nails trimmed, neither cat took to them in the ways described by other reviewers. In fact, they mostly chewed at them…both immediately after application and much later. Even after two years of continued application, the cats still occasionally chew them off, sometimes taking part of their skin or the root of the nail with them. This has produced bloody, sensitive paws which make me worry about infection and about how ethical they are. PAINFUL OPEN WOUNDS are exactly what we all try to avoid by not declawing! This might be a rare thing and obviously doesn’t happen to everyone, but I checked the medical literature and the American Veterinary Medical Association website and found that the safety of these nail caps has never been tested (in fact the AVMA removed nail caps from their position statement on declawing). Now I’m stuck between risking pain and infection for my cat at least once a month and worrying about the damage they could do to people and children if I don’t. I urge people to consider a more humane option if one is available.
