Do the "soft paws" things used to cover a cats claws really work? How long do they last?

Answer 1

You really got some weird answers. The claw covers work fine. I suggest you let your vet put on the first pair so you can see how to do it right. They'll be less likely to fall off that way. I like to trim my cats claws. At first I had to wrap them in a blanket so I didn't get killed but they eventually got used to it. Now they know they're going to get a treat afterwords and they look forward to it. Either way, it's nice that you're considering that instead of declawing.

Answer 2

i'm a cat individual, so i've got an thought of what you're dealing with. i does no longer hassle with the gentle paw covers, because of the fact it sounds as though that she can't tolerate them. I applaud your determination to no longer have her declawed. yet i does no longer enable her get away with the mountaineering or scratching your legs. while she does that, %. her up and take her to the scratching section, and putting her paws on it, and pass them as she might to scratch. considered one of my cats have been given the assumption when I did that. i think of your maximum suitable wager is to get something from a puppy save it rather is made for scratching. My cats like the around component with a ball in it and a cardboard midsection to scratch. you ought to test with countless products until eventually she discovers one which she likes. puppy shops have many thoughts. How some small, carpet-lined "tower" that she would be in a position to climb, scratch, and nap in. the main suitable time to alter habit is now, whilst she's a kitten.

Answer 3

Ihave never used them but have heard good things about them... I had my first cat declawed (i was 18 and claim temporay insanity and ignorance becasue I was unaware of how cruel that really is) but with my new kitten we just trim her claws once a month or so and give her plenty of things to scratch... oh! and tell her no! firmly when she starts to scratch the furniture...

Answer 4

From what I understand, they are effective until the cats claws grow to a point where they will fall off. Then you have to get them replaced, or replace them yourself. I havent used them personally, but a friend of mine used to get them done for her cat.

Answer 5

That's just cruel. Cats have claws for a reason, when people use ridicules items like this it diminishes the ability of the animal. Its time people put the interest of there animals first. you wouldn't have a baby then plug up its bottom and mouth to stop it being sick or pooing, so why hinder your pets by putting claw covers on it.

Answer 6

They kinda do, but only short term. The cat'll have picked a couple off in the first few days of having them on. It's kinda pointless after that.

Answer 7

I bought them and they do work if your cat takes to them.....mine chews the nails off at night when we go to sleep. Every day I have to check his nails and glue more on. When I do glue them on he freaks out and cries like im killing him, when I do get them on he shakes his paws. Its cute. Tryem out, they arent for every cat!

Answer 8

The first cat we got did not scratch the furniture. While she was alive, SHE trained the kittens not to scratch the furniture. She would spot the kitten scratching and she would swat the kitten.

Answer 9

Sorta'/cinda. They reduce the pane by atleast 50%, so they are reliable if thats the only thign you got.

Answer 10

To a degree. I've had people tell me they have had good luck with them and other's complained they kept coming off.
