Review: The Good, Bad and Ugly. - Update!!: it’s 2020 my sweet boy turns 6 this year. I STILL LOVE these. He’s gotten to where some months he won’t even notice they fell off for awhile and won’t even bother scratching at things. However, once he notices. Man, he goes all out. He is now a big (healthy) chunker that weighs 18 pounds. I alternate between large and medium for him and medium for his now girlfriend who weighs about 8-10 pounds. They both try to take them off as soon as I put them on. However, after a few minutes they have forgotten about them again. Original post: I absolutely love these! I started using this product about 4-5 months ago. I wanted to give it enough time before, I wrote a review. So here's my story: My sweet kitten just turned one in June and was getting/ tearing up everything! Trimming his nails didn't help, a big scratching post didn't work. Absolutely nothing helped. My fiancé started to push for us to declaw him just because, the cat was getting very out of hand. However, since I'm not big on declawing I went to the Internet! These are what I've found! I've ordered both a small and a medium of these and have found that medium work best. Id say if the cat is younger than one get small, any older it's best to get medium. The Good: -Basically what these are, are rubber caps that go onto your cats nail. They do not hurt them and for the most part the glue holds strong. It's a special glue that won't hurt the animals nails. Nor will it damage anything. They are still able to use their nails however, they arnt nearly as sharp. The Bad: - I've noticed on some of these reviews they complain the nails don't stay long enough or stay on to long. I have had a situation with both. I have learned it truly varies on two things: how much glue you put into the nail and how fast your cat's nails grow. Be sure to trim the cat's nails before putting the nail caps on that way they get the longest life span possible. Sometimes, My cat will lose a nail cap after a week of me putting them on. This has nothing to do with the product. It just means my cat was to fidgety and I didn't put as much glue as I needed too. Some of the nails are different sizes. So make sure that the bigger ones go on the bigger nails (obviously). The Ugly: - There was one time that I had notice my cat had two nails stuck longer than any of his other nail caps ( about two months). I had already replaced all the other ones at least once. However, those two were stuck like some of the horror stories suggested in previous reviews. To be honest it isn't a huge deal. It just means for some reason they stuck better. I learned that to get those two nails that were “super stuck” off. All you have to do it get a cotton ball with nail polish remover on it and rub the cats stuck nail cap until it pops off. It took only a matter of minutes. Also, it is notable to mention the glue dries very quickly. I've learned not to put the glue cap back on. Otherwise, you will never be able to open the glue again. I just put it in a sandwhich bag away from everything until my next use. Also, it does NOT rip out the nail!!! What you see when the nail falls off is dried glue that came up when it fell off the cats nails. Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone considering to buy it. I've only had to buy two packages in all the months I've been using this product. Great price for the quantity and quality!
Review: Great product - I absolutely LOVE these for my cat. He hates getting his nails clipped and never lets me touch his paws. So while I was waiting for the SoftPaws to come in the mail, I would touch his paws and play with them until he was a bit more comfortable. Then when they finally came in I was excited to put them on. I was very worried that he would shred up my arms and waited a few weeks before finally putting them on him. When he started playing pretty rough with our new puppy, I knew I had to find a way to put them on him before he scratched her good! So while he was sleeping pretty hard one day, I sat next to him, pet him, cliped one nail, and kept petting him. I did this until he finally came to and figured out that I was messing with his nails. I'd wait another 5-10 mins and do the whole thing all over again until I got all of his nails clipped. I put the nail caps on the exact same way. I filled one up with the glue, sat next to him, pet him until he was comfortable, and then slipped a nail cap on his nails. Again, I did this until he figured out what I was doing and would give it a few minutes before trying again. This went on until I put all 10 nail caps on his paws. He didn't notice at all. He licked his paws a bit, but he did not fight to chew them off or throw a fit. This really surprised me. It's like he didn't even notice them! He is such a sweet kitty but so mean whenever you put a collar on him or try and clip his nails. After I got all of his nail caps on, I watched him to see how he'd react. Of course, he got up and went straight to my carpet that he loved to scratch up. He tried doing it and instead of his nails getting caught, they'd just slip and my carpet wouldn't suffer. This was so cool becuase he was doing what he instinctively does without knowing the difference. He also liked to climb up the couches and would get his claws stuck becuase he never let me cut his nails. Trying this was an adjustment for him because instead of being able to climb up, he'd slip down. My cat really liked to scratch and bite also, but this saved my arms. I was able to play with him without having scratches all the way up my arms. It's been about a month and the nail caps are barely starting to fall off. He's figure out that he can latch on to things again so I need to put some more back on. The only thing is that I bought the medium ones that don't fit so well on his nails. I guess when I order them again I will try large, but I am just worried about them being so big they end up glued to his skin. But the good thing about them being too big is that you can cut/file them down to where they fit his nail perfect. Another thing I will do different is order a bright color. I ordered black because he is a male black cat and I didn't want him to have pink or something too girly, but the downside to this is that it's really hard to tell if they are still on there without having to mess with him and if one does fall off, it might be easier to find on the floor before my puppy or cat puts it in their mouth. This is a really long review, but these nail caps were such a great idea for my cat. So much better and humane than declawing him. Not all cats are the same and I really didn't think my cat would take to them and was so surprised and happy that he did. This product is really easy and at least worth a try before taking your cat to get his little fingers cut off!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will Soft Claws affect my cat's ability to scratch or retract their claws?**
A: Not at all. Your cat can still extend, retract, and go through the motions of scratching naturally. The caps simply cover the sharp tips to prevent damage to your furniture and skin while ensuring a comfortable fit.

**Q: Are these nail caps safe for my cat?**
A: Yes! They are veterinary-developed and use a non-toxic, American-made adhesive free from harmful additives often found in overseas products. They are designed to be the safest and most comfortable option available.

**Q: How do I remove the nail caps?**
A: They naturally fall off as your cat’s nails grow and shed, usually every 4-6 weeks. To remove them sooner, just trim the very tip of the nail cap as you would during a regular grooming session to break the adhesive bond.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Updated: They Work, but need frequent replacement
*by F***E on October 30, 2011*

I was about to set an appointment to declaw my 5 lb, four month-old kitten when I decided to try these out. I have two fully grown declawed indoor cats, but I always felt bad about the process. The Soft Paws were so inexpensive I thought it was worth a try. I ordered the small size in red for my black cat so it would be easy to tell if they came off. Rodney is a wild man, but besides guilting me out with sad, betrayed eyes, he didn't give me much trouble. My husband applied the glue to the gel caps and I applied them to Rodney's claws. I had to do it in two sessions, however, because the first three caps had too much glue in them. His long toe hair got stuck to his real nails and I couldn't get them on. I had to give him a few days to work off the glue before I could glue them successfully. You should only apply enough glue to fill about a third of the cap. I kept him distracted for a few minutes to let the glue dry and he didn't seem too concerned with the sensation. When he did fuss with them they stayed on. There is a video on YouTube by a veterinarian who demonstrates the process. Over a week later, he still has them on, despite using his scratching post and tearing around the house on turbo. I suspect Soft Paws work best on young cats, but, for the price, it's worth trying on any cat before putting it through a declawing. I will definitely keep using them. UPDATE--5 Weeks later: I have used about 20 of the 40 caps in five weeks, so on average I am replacing them at a rate of 2.5 per week. I don't know if that is the normal rate of claw loss for a 5 month-old, super-active kitten, but since they are red they are easy to spot on the floor and sometimes have partial claw still in them. Other times, though, the now unprotected claw looks suspiciously smooth and new. Since my cat is pretty understanding about the whole process and I usually do just one per "session," I can do it alone, so this is an acceptable inconvenience for me. HOWEVER, the 6 included glue applicator tips are woefully insufficient for 40 gel caps since Rodney will NEVER lose enough claws at the same time that so that I can replace them all in a large batch with one disposable applicator. I would run have run out of applicators in the first couple of weeks. Anticipating this after the first replacement cap, I have gone through the tedious process of cleaning out the super glue with a large needle, nail polish remover and toothpicks every time I use an applicator in order to maximize its usage. I am even still using the first of the two glue tubes. They tips were not designed for reuse, and I doubt most people would have the patience to do this. I am going to have to find another source for applicator tips--probably a woodworking or hobby store. For me, sparing Rodney that gruesome operation makes it all worthwhile and I recommend people try these things at least once. They are not that expensive and my vet says she has shown clients how to put them on the first time. There is a knack to it and a lot depends on your level of comfort with your cat. Being more of a cat person, I am more comfortable putting these on Rodney on than I am brushing my dog Norman's teeth, and he doesn't do much more than try to twist his head and give me the stare of betrayal. Go figure.
