Dr. Donna DeBonis applies SoftPaws

This video looks like an alien abduction nightmare.....

Softpaws are great if your cat destroys house and furniture. These are simply rubber fingertips glued over your cat's claws so things don't tear or scratch.

Cat keeps his/her claws (no surgery or declawing). After 2-3 months the glue holding the rubber caps (softclaws) wears off and cat gets his/her sharp claws back again.

This is a great product!

Does anyone know how long the glue has to set?

Yes, simply put your cat into his carrier or the bathroom (no rug), and let him stay in there for about 5 minutes. This is a superglue type of glue so it sets fast, but you want to give it a chance to do so without the nail cap getting pulled off immediately.

My cat plays VERY rough with my boyfriend. He's got scratches all over his arms and hands, even his back, but believe it or not, the main thing he complains about is the cat scratching up the furniture, walls, toilet paper, anything! He's even talked about getting him de-clawed. Of course I'm not going to do that, especially since I haven't even tried these soft claws yet, but next time I go out, I'm definitely getting some to try! I hope it works! :D

i have these for my cat they work very well my cat cant tear up my furniture and cant scratch the kids. my cat doesnt even notice them and is a very happy kitty:)i got blue soft paws for him

We just put these on my cat Max tonight. So far I like them!

Selfish? My cat has no sense of how he claws people when he jumps, is very timid, freaks at nothing, and my 2 year old toddler WILL get hurt if something is not done. You think it's inhumane to use softpaws rather than the other options which are 1) let my toddler get hurt or maybe lose her eyesight by getting clawed in the face if she hugs him 2) getting him declawed 3) give him away, then be accused of abandoning my pet for convenience. "a toy" does not protect a toddler and keep the cat

my comment was supposed to be to the comment before me. Oh, and anti-cat would have been the decision to give him to animal control where he most likely woud have been euthanized since there is no room in any no-kill shelter or animal rescue group anywhere right now. What about the animals natural instict to be alive and loved, and mom's instinct to do both that and make sure her kid doesn't get hurt. I can stand being scratched, but I won't let my kid grow up afraid of cats

I LOVE SOFTPAWS! i put them on my cat a few days after i adopted him and they were very easy to apply. my cat whined a little bit, but calmed down after a few minutes. he is much calmer now and let me clip his nails the other day without any fuss, so future softpaw applications should be simple. i will be able to do it by myself :)

I used these when my cat was a itten and he tore up the carpet. I found I had to use more glue to keep them on because he was determined to rip them off with his teeth. They worked, but you must check their paws daily to see if they have shed one. And if they have they can tear up anything like normal. But it is preferable to declawing. I have found most declawed cats know they can use their teeth instead of claws and you have to let them keep their teeth. luckily my cat outgrew the behavior.
