Get your kit today and show your cat some extra love! BeautyBird: We've been using these nail caps on our cats for many years and I just wanted to provide a couple tips to make the process of applying them easier.
1. It's easier with two people. My husband holds the cat, I put the glue in the nail cap and hand it to him, and he then presses the cap onto the cat's claw.
2. Instead of using the applicator tip to fill the nail cap with glue, I use a TOOTHPICK! I just use the paper card that comes with the caps (or any sheet of paper will do), and squeeze out a little blob of glue onto it. I then use a wooden toothpick to scrape up the glue and push it into the nail cap before handing off to hubby to apply to the cat's claw.
3. Keep an eye on your cat's nails and simply replace the cap once it falls off. We usually find nail caps that came off laying around, with the old nail sheath in it, so we know our cat shed a nail (along with the nail cap). We then trim the claw and put on a new cap! Easy peasy!
I highly recommend getting yourself and your cat to a place where you can use these, not only to avoid declawing, but also to save your furnishings and carpeting and creating a more peaceful environment for everyone in the...

Jess: Both tubes of glue were basically empty when it arrived. Not enough enough in both tubes to put one set on

Jessica Willis: I have a very calm, very tolerant 10 lb tortoiseshell female. She likes her belly rubbed, and she is fine with her paws being handled. I apply these caps and once I week, I replace any caps that have come off. Applying an entire set, front and back, takes me about 10 minutes from start to finish, but replacing caps as they come off takes about 3 minutes. Judging by how long different colors have remained on her feet, I would say that the caps average 3 weeks or so before being shed. I will break down what I do in case it could be of any help to other users.
Supplies:
Towel
Soft Claws
Glue
New Applicator tip for glue
Fingernail clippers
Clipnosis clips
(optional) Hood
Procedure:
I keep all of the supplies I need for application in a small mesh zippered pouch in the junk drawer of my kitchen. When I get ready to apply her nails, I lay down a towel on my kitchen counter (to place kitty on). I collect kitty, place her on the towel on her side, and apply Clipnosis clips. My cat will lay quietly in a zen-like state with the clips, but even without the clips she is easily manageable. I think if this is a terrifying procedure for your cat, you'll want...

Lili: Ich habe die Softclaws gekauft, weil mein Kater sich ausgelöst durch eine Allergie den Hals und Nacken blutig aufgekratzt hat. Aufgrund der Lage der Wunde kam ein Trichter nicht in Frage, die Wunden haben aber gejuckt und so hat mein Kater sich immer wieder von neuem die Haut blutig aufgekratzt. Ich war schon völlig am Verzweifeln als ich dann auf die Softclaws gestoßen bin. Laut Produktbeschreibung sollen sie die Katze davon abhalten, Möbel zu zerkratzen. Aber was am Ende zerkratzt wird, ist ja egal. Einen Versuch war es wert, also bestellt.
Geliefert werden einmal die Softclaws selbst, das sind kleine Nagelkappen (in meinem Fall in Größe M für meinen Kater) und außerdem dabei ist ein Sekundenkleber und eine Art Trichter, den man an die Sekundenkleber Tube anbringt, um so die Spitze davon in die Nagelkappen stecken zu können. Dort füllt man dann nach Gefühl den Kleber ein. Anschließend stülpt man die Nagelkappe auf die zuvor mit einer für Tiere geeigneten Nagelschere gestutzen Krallen der Katze. Bei meinem Kater war es hilfreich, das zu zweit zu machen. Während einer die Katze streichelt und ablenkt kann die zweite Person die Nagelkappen anbringen. Das tut...

Kiki Things: I LOVE these. I've used them on tons of cats for multiple years of all different personality types. One HUGE guy hated his paws touched, so we'd only do his front legs, and it would stop him from scratching the couch. We would just work in a team to get them on his feet. My feral rescue had some severe scratching issues, and these broke her of all of her "preferred" scratching spots. After about 2 months of Soft Claws, I was able to create new OK spots for her to scratch which came with heavy rewards, diverting the problem somewhere OK. She HATED getting these put on, but I can announce that I haven't used soft paws on her for two years, and my furniture is still good!
That said, I recommended these to my mother, who has two slow, fat cats. She's really afraid of cutting their nails, and also hated that they scratched her furniture. No matter WHAT I told her to do, she wouldn't follow through, and was inches from getting her cats declawed (which is inhumane, and ABSOLUTELY NOT an alternative). She had the vet install them on the cats for a small fee, and told me how much she LOVED them for the first month. The thing is that these normally fall off naturally after a few...

Erin S.Erin S.: I’ve done these on two cats recently. They work much better than the ones I tried 15 years ago. The cats both hated them for about an hour, then forgot they were there. The damaged furniture and scratches on me have decreased dramatically. My sweet little tornado has worn holes in hers from running so much, but they’re still keeping her from damaging furniture. I think applying the glue to the nails works better than getting it in the caps and I feel like I need more glue pens, but those are easy to pick up. Overall, a total win!
