stupid yanks you really dont know what else to do to make money and torturing pet is just as good as long as it can make you rich or fashionable . either way as a vet i can only tell you how stupid softclaw is. if you want to keep your furnitures then trim your cat's claws once a month and if you are scared to be scratched by your cat then dont adopt a cat get a goldfish at least you can say you have the same brain as your pet

I would think this would be uncomfy for the cat, it forces their claws to stay out. but if they can still retract their claws wouldn't the plastic hurt when it goes in? What if kitty manages to pull them off and accidentally eat them or gets outside and can't defend her/himself? Apparently no one wants to use a scratching post any more.

I find that this saves my furniture and rugs as the cats seem less interested in scratching with trimmed nails and the iguana doesn't scratch my body to pieces as she climbs up and down my neck and back when her nails are trimmed. Everyone is used to being trimmed and they all just sort of chill out and relax as I talk to them about life and we all listen to 70s music on the internet radio.

I have three cats and a huge iguana which ALL have nails. I find that it is VERY important to trim everyone's nails to provide a safe household for all. My iguana has FREE RANGE of my entire home, is potty trained, and does not mind the cats at all ( they are gentle with her as when they get to curious she swats them with the mighty tail and they have learned to be gentle )however nail trimming is KEY. I do it on a schedule once every two weeks on the same day as the nails grow back fast.

@GedenWilbur In my country it's illegal to declaw (in fact I'm mystified that not only is it illegal in USA and Canada, but that people actively seek to do this horrendous procedure to their pets) but a product like this isn't even considered or widely available here. People here accept that claws are a part of the cat and don't even give any thought to it. I see products like this and procedures like declawing as the lazy option to cat ownership

@nupthatisit Thank you! Finally someone who's sane! I do the same thing. Trimming them is not painful, they still have the ability to balance and climb and they are happy and SAFE.

@GedenWilbur Agreed. Cats also scratch as a natural act in order to allow the claws to shed layers - gluing bits of coloured rubber to them prevents that from happening. The cat is going to be just as unhappy with this product as declawing. Do what I do - trim the claws. My cats are indoors, have their claws and are extremely happy.

Yes I can see how this is an alternative to declawing which you americans seem to be fond of.. BUT! This is ALSO cruel! How is the cat supposed to retract their claws with silly rubber on them? Why don't you all accept that if you want to have a cat, claws will follow!

@RoyalBlue4486 Seems like this product is, like declawing, purely for the convenience of the owner with little consideration for the pet. No where near as bad as declawing, granted, but I still fail to see, even with the slightest risk of harm to the cat, that it's worth it. Trimming claws has worked for me for the last 31 years, and possibly will for the next 31 years (or longer, hopefully, lol)
