Soft Paws for Cats

Soft Paws is a product I want every cat owner to know about, especially those who have issues with scratching and consider declawing their cat. Please, don't! There is an alternative.

The Soft Paws website sells non-toxic vinyl claw caps for cats that look very much like a claw shell. What you do is you fill the shells with organic glue (provided in the kit) and slide them on each of the cat's claws. Usually, you only need to do the front paws. When the glue dries (takes about five minutes), the caps will stay on, and your kitties can scratch all they want - the shells are not sharp, so there will be no damage done.

The application is easy, and the caps are not in any way harmful for the cat. In fact, the cat will not feel any difference. Most cats don't even notice that they are wearing SoftPaws. The shells will need to be re-applied in approximately 4-6 weeks - they gradually fall off with the natural growth of the cat's claws.

The Soft Paws claw caps are sold in packs of 40. They are available in different sizes (Kitten, Small, Medium, Large) and in a variety of colors. If you are not sure what size you should get for your cat, the Soft Paws website offers a size chart.

A pack of 40 caps costs $17.95 and will last your cat for approximately 4-6 months. I highly recommend Soft Paws to all cat owners. Not only you will solve the scratching problem, your kitty will also look so very cute wearing them!
