My cat, Jabba, is front declawed. When he sits on the couch he takes his back claws and digs them into the couch and you can hear the fabric pop as his nails enter. No matter how much trimming of his nails we did, he would still do it. So we bought him some Soft Claws, they are silicone caps for cat’s nails; it’s a safe alternative to declawing. Well he wears them; however he isn't a fan of them. He has been wearing them for several months now, but lately, within the last month he has been taking off the same two middle toes on his right paw. We can put them on 3 times a day and within an hour of being let go he will have them removed. We have held him down for almost an hour just to let the glue dry, and have even watched him like a hawk, but sure enough within an hour or so they are off again. Those two nails seem slick; could they keep coming off easy because they have nothing to grip too? What if we used a nail file, VERY CAREFULLY, and filled a little of the nail so the glue had something to adhere too? Would that work? Has anyone tried Soft Claws and had this happen? I will take any advice. We seem to go through these things like water, but they are so AMAZING! Really work wonders.
