Has anyone here used Soft Paws on their cat(s)? Thoughts?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:We tried them on a cat who was scratching herself raw. For her, we only needed to do the rear paws. I really liked the concept, but it didn’t work for us. Putting them on was not easy; we would get her really mellow, then do a couple of claws before she’d say “Enough of this shit” and go all Kim Jong Un on us. Once done, they bothered her enough that she chewed them off within a couple of days.
