De-clawing of cat question??? Soft Claws? Soft Paws?

Yeah... I love the product too... I use soft claws on my cats and I love them... I get mine off line at www.safepetproducts.com and they are really pretty cheap and they come in a TON of different colors. You can get the small pack (4-6mon) for $14.99 and then shipping is only a $1.00ish so it is still cheaper than a pet store and you can get all the colors, red, purple, blue, pink and so on. I have recently decided to get the larger pack, which is an 18mon supply for $45.00 and it is well worth it.

I only have two cats that wear them. A frontdeclawed male who wears them only on his back paws, so I don't even go threw 1 in 2 months.. And another male who wears them on all his feet and he hardly goes threw any of them.

I just went ahead and put them on myself. It is so easy to do it and it is far easier and way cheaper just to do it yourself than worry about a groomer.

They really are great products....

Oh and I don't have a problem with my cats bitting them off. My older one will bite at them when they are first put on. But i will hold him for 5 min after they are done and he leaves them be after that. As for eating them and/or getting sick from the glue, it doesn't happen.

I raced to answer this post to tell you how cruel de-clawing was. Thankfully I read about these soft claws.

Declawing is like cutting off finger tips!

Actually a friend of mine keeps talking about declawing her cat and it's really irritating me. I was wondering where you can get some of those soft claws. I'd really like to tell her to try it out. I have never heard of them and I think they sound fabulous! :)

I got these for my cat after she kept using my new black leather couch as a scratching post. She did nothing but bite on these things and had all of them off within 3 days. She was miserable. I ended up getting a scratching board which I keep near my couch and that has solved the problem.

Good for you for looking into alternatives to declawing! For those who do not want or cannot afford Soft Claws, you can also clip your kitties nails with a regular nail clipper.

I'm so glad you didn't declaw the cat! You had me worried.

We got cardboard scratch pads and the cats love them. I just told them to leave the things alone and don't touch them (scratch the couch instead). The way they look at me when they tear up the cardboard is great.

i am so glad that you put out a post! my boyfriends mom had his cat de-clawed and now the cats wants to go outside and they let him! if you de-claw you cat (which you shouldn't) DON'T let it out! it can get hurt and it is your fault because it CANNOT defend it's self!!!!!!!! try soft-claws or train the cat with a water bottle. i have 7 cats and training can be hard, but i believe it is worth it!

you can also get them at vets or smaller independant pet stores..

I prefer to shop at the independant stores who REFUSE to sell pups... and find often they are cheaper than the big box stores becuase big box have huge over head and head office fees etc...

dont put them on back claws.. only front.

Yeah I use a similar produt for my cat but it isnt called soft paws.

I have heard good things about them I am thinking about getting them for my two kittens. I am so glad you love your pets so much. I don't know what I would do without mine. they are like my children. They are good for your health also. they can lower blood pressure. They are such good company and so loving. God Bless you for caring so much.

I'd be concerned about my cat ingesting some of the product, or the super glue, when grooming.
