Soft Claws Cat Nail Caps for Small Cats – (40 Caps, Halloween - Orange & Black) - Veterinarian-Developed | Protects Furniture & Skin - Easy to Apply, Long-Lasting Anti-Scratch Soft Cat Claw Covers

I have to begin with the whole concept of Soft Claws, they are an innovative way to prevent the damge done by a cats natural tendencies to "scratch". I found that I had a lot of scratch marks on my leather sofa due to my 2 kitties, it wasnt because they were scracthing though, it was just due to their claws coming out and my sofa suffered for it :( Soft claws are great when I have to bathe the kittens, no inadvertant clawing, lol. We get different colored ones, mix n match em, everyone always comments on them, they think i have taken the time to paint the kitten's nails.. um, no!!! I highly recommend these for any cat, unless of course, it's an outside cat.

If you put them on right after your cat sheds her nails then it will stay on for a while. However all of their nails shed at different times and they will randomly lose one, or chew off another.

Pros: The Halloween colors are adorable, they definitely take the edge off of my cat's swat when we're playing with toys, she can't scratch my floors or furniture even if she wants to, and they have stayed on well so far and seem to withstand nail-biting.Cons: She was already a nail-biter during grooming (even if her nails were short), so she does the same with these, only she does it more often now. She's had them on for 4 days and she still shakes her paws uncomfortably sometimes then starts grooming them, so I can tell she can still feel them and is not too happy having them on.Size: My cat is just shy of 9 lbs but has tiny feet so she is a size Small.Application: I had the unique opportunity to have these applied by the vet while she was already under anesthesia for dental surgery. I don't think I could have applied these easily myself, and I think they might be sticking more strongly because they had time to dry while she was out. I also thought adjusting to them after surgery would be easier for her because she wouldn't have noticed as much, but she totally did and still does not feel 100% comfortable with them on.I really like them so I hope she adjusts to them and they stay on!! Will update this when they start falling off.UPDATE 10/18/12Most of them are STILL on Lulu's nails despite persistent biting! I think only two have fallen off so far. Pretty incredible considering she has been trying to bite them off for weeks now. I will continue to reapply them since she seems much more comfortable with them than she was at first, and they protect my furniture (and me during play time).

I love that it includes two glue sticks that work really well. It took awhile for the glue sticks to really dry out. They work really good against cat scratches. My kitten was able to keep most of them on for about 2 weeks if I did a really good job of installing them. It did not bother my kitten so he didn't mind wearing them. I alternated between the black and the orange for his nails and he looked adorable.

At first it was tricky getting the hang of putting them on, but after a few nails it was easy. I would wear rubber gloves when doing it to avoid getting the adhesive all over your hands. It takes a little getting used to on the part of your cat but after a few days it will adjust well.

Gets them off in about 3 days

My cat is able to pull off size medium by start of week two.
