Soft Paws

[brittmk0922]

Has anyone on here used the Soft Paws product for their cats? My husband and I combined households and he wasn't as diligent on training as I was wih my pets so we are looking for compromises lol! His cat is quite bad for scratching the furniture and we are definitely both totally anti-declaring, so this looks like a good alternative. Just hoping to hear from people with experience with them

Thanks!

I haven't used them personally but have applied them. One thing that a lot of people don't realize is they have to be reapplied quite often. As their nails grow they will fall off and need to be reapplied.

Both cats are really good for letting us touch their paws so I don't think it would be told hard to reapply them, and worth the time if they work

I used to use these on Sassy not because of scratching on furniture but because she had dermatitis and allergies and would scratch herself so bad she would break the skin.

She was pretty easy going so putting caps on her nails was fairly easy. They would last anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months depending on how much she tried to chew them off.

I would look into getting scratchers the cats like and trimming her nails or having the vet do it. Also spraying feliway daily in the spots she scratches inappropriately will redirect her.
