(20,052 posts)16. Those are great!
I used them when we had a dominance issue between a foster and my kitty. It kept the bloodshed to a minimum!
Loved this review at Amazon.
4.0 out of 5 starsSafety first

I'd have gone 5 stars if they didn't have to be manipulated by pinching them to make them open up enough to slide of the claw, but that's a minor inconvenience compared to wrestling a pissed off cat that doesn't have any caps over her razor sharp claws. These are hard to use wearing all the protective equipment (hockey mask, leather coat and gloves, shin guards). I'm type O+ if you're a donor. However, once on, they work great. The constant scratching no longer shreds the upholstery. Can I get these for her teeth? If she ever learns how to open the shower slider, I'll have no place safe to sleep. They look great. Since she started sporting the bright red tips on her webcam, the subscriptions have taken off. Those bright red claws really pop out on video. She does have a hard time with the keyboard, but that's not because of the Soft Claws. I'm hoping Soft Claws 2.0 has some sort of adhesive built in to the tip. I get the crazy glue stuck all over my fingers, and of course, the black cat hair then sticks to the glue - which means I've got patchy black fur stuck to my hands for days (including the palms . . . I know . . . weird, right?) Seriously, this is a wonderful product. If they made these for my little sister in the 70's, I'd have had a normal childhood. Thanks for reading, but my therapist is pounding on the bathroom door. I gotta let him out.

I live in the UK; declawing cats is illegal, here. (So are tail docking and ear cropping in dogs.)

Never considered it. My furniture shows it. I probably will never buy anything new.

One nice compromise is to build a catio (if you have the space & resources of course).
