I am writing from Paw-Paw, Inc. in Phoenix, AZ. We have a kitty named Mitchell; he is a three year old polydactyl. He has a disorder known only as self mutilating behavior. He has no skin disease, no fungus or parasites, no earmites,and no viruses which can be tested. The cats at this facility are on Nutro cat food; and filtered water. They are strictly indoors and are all fixed and current on their vaccines for upper respiratory, leukemia, and FIP.

The Soft Claws have helped to protect his skin.

Mitchell has his beautiful pink paws; only real men can wear pink, you know! He looks so darn cute. He is still able to rub the fur off around his neck and face, but at least now he cannot break the skin, and that is a big, big help. I bet you never figured Soft Claws for this use. We can't thank you enough.

Sincerely, Sherri Miller, Paw-Paw

Thanks! By the way, I can't tell you how much my grandmother's oriental rug appreciates Soft Claws...the cats were tearing it up so badly I had just about decided to put it back into storage when our cat sitter told us about Soft Claws. They saved the day; now we can enjoy the rug without fretting about the cats destroying it--and I love the double-takes guests do when they spot blue, red, pink, and purple nails! (Have you thought about adding green so we can decorate them for Christmas?)

I received my order today. It was much easier than I expected to put on My little troublemaker... and so far they're working! I had to write and say thank you for such a great product. So far so good!

I just wanted to tell you that I absolutely love my kitties Soft Claws. Actually, so does he! They work so well and I just want to thank you!

Michele Quick

A vet receptionist told me that Soft Claws "don't work very well, because you have to keep re-applying them all the time," and hence, they do not carry them.

Well, for my purposes, they work great. My cat has diabetes, which causes any wounds he gets to take longer to heal. Sometimes, he wrestles with my other cats and ends up with a small scratch on the back of his neck. He scratches it with his back claws, causing it to spread and preventing it from healing. A "lampshade" collar rides too high to protect the wound. Before I was able to find Soft Claws, the best I could do was apply a band-aid, then a collar made from an old sock. At wits end, I had to consider rear declaw, which would have been very risky considering the diabetes. If such a situation has not come to your attention in the past, I think it may be valuable in your marketing efforts. Feel free to use this information as you will.

Thank you!

I just wanted to write to express my complete satisfaction with your product. I have two cats at home that moderately scratch the furniture, but my big problem was my boy Jacob. He's a very protective territorial cat. That means he's so adorable and lovable to me- he will let me hold him like a baby and he never gives me attitude, but when I have friends over he becomes vicious (he bats his claws and hisses at people- even those who are over frequently). I was torn between my cat and my friends. I had to come to some sort of decision after he tore up my friends leg while she was feeding him when I was out of town. Declawing was absolutely out of the question, so I decided to finally give soft paws a try (I had heard of them awhile ago, but never gave it any thought). It was a unique experience applying them the first time- my boys were tolerant enough and didn't seem to notice any thing was different. This last week has been great (I've only had to reapply 5 caps between the two of them)and they haven't scratched me or my friends or the furniture.

Thanks for a product that saves not only their claws but their emotional well being (and mine!) I will be a lifetime customer!!!

I was adopted by two adult cats, Duke and Molly, a couple years ago.
Scratching became a big problem. As a responsible pet owner, getting rid of them was out of the question. However, allowing them to damage my property needed to come to an abrupt halt. My veterinarian had three options: tendonectomy, declawing or Soft Claws. Because of their age, and ONLY because of their age, I didn't feel right about the first two options. I decided to try Soft Claws. I applied Soft Claws to the front claws on both of my cats. After seeing the results, I applied them to their back claws as well. This product works very well. This is saving my clothes and furniture. My recommendations for 1st time users..........the first application is the worst, but after that you're only replacing one every once in a while.....so tough out the first application. A second set of hands wouldn't hurt either. When I have to replace one, I kind of incorporate it into affection or playing. If they resist, I back off for a bit. After applying just a few, you'll be a pro. I'm so glad this product was developed. It's reduced the stress of a pet owner tremendously.
Thanks Soft Claws!!!

My name is Jessica Onstine. My 11-month old kitty's name is Kyra. She was bound and determined to scratch her way under the door to the spare room in our apartment. My husband and I are very morally against declawing and would never put our little one through that, but my husband was very adamant that we had to find a solution or get rid of Kyra.

I tried the sprays that are supposed to deter the cat, but they actually drew her to that spot more than before. I tried putting tape on the carpet in that spot, but that didn't work either. I was running out of solutions fast, and my husband was losing patience.

Then one day, as I was looking for suggestions on the internet, I came across your website. I was very skeptical, but also desperate. I called the 800-number to ask a few questions and was pleasantly surprised at how helpful your customer service was. I decided to give it a chance, for Kyra.

I sent a check for one pack of purple caps. (I ordered purple so I could see the ones she chewed off on our white carpet while she adjusted.) They arrived just days later, to my relief. I attempted to put them on Kyra myself, but she is very athletic and strong, and does not like to be restrained. So I enlisted the help of my husband when he got home. He held her and applied the caps. It was very easy once I could work with both hands.

Kyra wasn't sure about them at first. She licked and tugged, as I was advised she would, but in just three days she adjusted and no longer notices them or tries to take them off. When we play she can't scratch me, and when Victor and I sleep, she can't tear up the carpet! It's wonderful. We're so glad there is a humane solution. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for Soft Claws! When I moved to Oregon to go to school, no one would accept my cat! After months of searching, I finally found an apartment that would allow me to keep Mojo, but only if I declawed him! I don't believe in declawing, so I was faced with quite a dilemma. Thank goodness for Soft Claws! My landlord gets intact carpets, I get to keep my cat, and my cat gets to keep his claws. We're all very happy. Thank you, Dr. Christianne Schelling! Please visit our web site at http://welcome.to/orangesunshine where we have a section devoted to Soft Claws! Best wishes,

Day 2, and they are still on! I did spy Ernie trying to scratch the carpet one time, but he didn't attack it with the usual gusto. I am very pleased. I work with lots of pet enthusiasts, and I am keeping them updated on the "Ernie Saga". Hopefully, you will get a few spin-off customers. I was amazed how easy they were to apply, and how little the cat noticed they were on.

Janet Rancan

I have just received my Soft Claws in Australia and think they're great - I was wondering if you need a distributor out here? declawing is illegal and Australians are great pet lovers.

Cheers - David Reese

I found you on the internet. I gave our vet a call just to see if he Had them available not expecting they had ever hear of them. To my pleasant surprise, not only did he have Soft Claws but they glue them on. My cat now has Soft Claws!!!! Thanks for offering this product to us animal lovers. Millie doesn't seem to be bothered at all by the Soft Claws. I had expected a period of adjustment but none has been needed. I just wanted to say these are awesome! Now, I'm not afraid to buy the leather couch I wanted. They stay on too! Check out the pic of my cat, Neko.

Thanks much,

Dear Dr. Schelling & staff,
Soft Claws are so great, we put them on our kitten and he didn't mind a bit. He loses a couple a week, but it's still worth it. We have a house bunny and were concerned about kitten's claws in bunny's eyes so Soft Claws really solved a major problem for us. Plus, our oriental rugs, furniture and not to mention our skin are also all safe from our sweet kitten's needle like claws. The greatest bonus is that we have so much fun playing with him since we don't have to worry about getting scratched. He gets even more attention so he's a very happy kitty! Lately he's learning to bite however. How about some caps for his sharp little teeth? (only kidding!)

We're placing another order this week to make sure we can keep up with our little one's "manicures". Thanks again for a wonderful product!

Linda Santillo

All three cats have them on and all three are doing just fine. I am just amazed out of three cats we didn't have a least a little problem with one. All three adapted immediately.

I have never liked declawing cats, but its' always been the only solution offered to pet owners in the past. With Soft Claws there is an option maybe people will try before declawing. I certainly will spread the word. I am so happy my daughter told me about Soft Claws, as Baxter ( my late in life cat) was starting to cause some minor damage in certain spots around the house.

Thanks again
Barbara Schofield, Baltimore Md.

What's up Doc?,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you. Soft Claws works surprising well!!! I have a roommate who is an advocate of declawing our cat, but it's no longer a worry. Soft Claws saved her claws.

Cheers-Nino

I just wanted to say thank you for the Soft Claws for cats. I have 4 little ones and they all have done great with them. I can finally have some peace of mind when they all pile up on the waterbed. They are really terrific. Thanks again.

Sincerely
Samantha S. Sharp

PS I have also recommended them to my sister-in-law who just got a new kitten. I know she will be happy with them.

I love your product! My cat accidentally scratched my face (near my eye) very badly last week and I had to go to the Emergency Room. I was so sad at the thought of having to declaw my beautiful kitty, but I was so afraid of a worse accident happening (especially around small children). I heard about the product over the Internet and have found it to be exactly what I needed! Thank you so much and Oscar (my cat) thanks you, too!

Elisabeth Calvert Smith

What a wonderful product!!!!! My 3 year old cats have already destructed 3 different couches and also the carpet outside my bedroom in our 8 month old home. I was so frustrated. I heard about your product from my neighbor who heard about it from a friend and so on, and now my Cleo and Sophie are trotting around in their Soft Claws in fact they went in yesterday for their 3rd application. I take them into the vet for those of you who don't want to deal with putting them on yourself. It is wonderful... 20 minute visit to the vet (for 2 cats). Also I have a six month old baby that is learning to pull cat hair and it is so nice to know that he is not going to have a cat swipe him in the eye with a very sharp claw!
Thank you for Soft Claws. Best invention ever made!

Thanks Sarah Smith

I just had to write to let you know what a great product this is. I have two cats who have destroyed just about every piece of furniture we own. We recently ordered new furniture, and I was in a panic over how to protect it. We've tried just about every method you could think of to stop them from scratching the furniture with very limited success. While doing some research on alternatives to declawing, I came across Soft Claws. I ordered them but honestly was very skeptical as to whether they would work. They arrived so quickly, within two days of placing the order.

I put them on immediately which wasn't hard at all. Both our cats are used to us trimming their nails so nobody gave us any trouble with the application process. Mr. Whiskers was so bored with the whole process that he even fell asleep while we were applying his nails!!

They have left them on and really pay very little attention to their feet. They still stretch and "scratch" the furniture like they always did, but now there is no damage done!! Its the perfect solution. We check them daily to be sure nobody has lost any. I would recommend the colored nails because its so easy to pick the cat up and quickly inspect all ten toes within seconds. They're also easy to spot laying on the carpet, etc., if one does come loose. Different colors for each cat also lets me know immediately who I need to find for a fast inspection! Over the past three weeks, I have replaced only a few nails here and there. I will NEVER, EVER be without Soft Claws again!

Thanks for an amazing product!
Lynda Springer

I am so happy with Soft Claws that I have been recommending them to all my friends and family who are cat owners. I have also posted a message on the cat message board on the web where we discuss cat problems letting everyone know how happy we are with this product along with the link to your web site where they can find out more about Soft Claws and order them.

I can't tell you what a relief it is to not have to worry about them destroy things!

Thanks again!
Lynda

Thank you for creating such a wonderful alternative to declawing. I've encluded a picture of Tony proudly wearing his Soft Claws for you to enjoy.

Jennifer St. Arnauld

My cat is beginning to get used to them and I'm beginning to get used to putting them on her. I'm so glad these work because she really loves to scratch the rugs and that is not acceptable behavior.

I've always had my cats declawed but that is not possible here (Yemen Republic). The vets will not do that so I'm learning something new, too. Thank you for a product that just might work after she gets used to it. I'm going to be recommending it to everyone I know.

Katina A. Stanislav

Thank you so much for this life-saving product! I recently moved in with my boyfriend of 2 years and he was very concerned that they would scratch his new leather furniture (which they would have without this product!). He insisted on them being declawed - which I absolutely refused!!! My groomer introduced me to Soft Claws and I have been using them and telling all my friends and contacts about them ever since.

Sincerely,
Brenda Stevens

P.S. And extra thanks from Cleo and Marc Anthony!

Just a note to thank you for creating such a WONDERFUL product. Years ago (when I was less informed on the actual surgical procedure and unaware of the traumatic impact that declawing can have on a cat, I had a loving cat declawed - neither of us ever could quite go back to "normal". Recently, after a friend told me about your product I purchased it from a vendor and was immediately sold. For the last seven years, I have argued that declawing was inhumane to anyone who even mentioned it - citing the example of cutting a human finger off at the first joint in support of my argument - and just accepted that my furniture will eventually be in shreds (oh well, I can always learn to reupholster, right!). My female has worn the clear Soft Claws for about two weeks without even noticing (except when I put them on, she had to tell me about her thoughts on it), while the male was an angel while I put them on... but daily seems to either take one off... or nibbles off the tip of the cap! I religiously reapply them - while telling him he does NOT even want to know the alternative that a "sister" long ago had to suffer!

I'm sold.... we're ordering colors for Christmas and will continue to order from you forever. Thanks from Boris and Tasha, too! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thanks again,

Kim L. Turnpaugh

I just wanted to write and tell you how much I love your product. There is no way I would ever put my cat thru the torture of declawing. Bought the hot pink, goes well with her color, she's a blue cream point. Think next time I will try the red. For anyone wondering how the cat will accept them I will tell you this. Put all ten on at one time and she never moved while doing it. Not once has she tried to take them off. Thanks again for such a wonderful alternative to pain.

Larry Waldron

I received the Soft Claws today, and had them on Lucy with in 10 minutes. Please note, this cat purrs when I trim her claws, so the process of putting on the nail tips was uneventful. I'm a very fortunate cat owner. The hardest part was trying to figure out Afterwards, she groomed her paws off and on for about 20 minutes and was totally adjusted to them with in an hour. We got a perfect fit, so they are on good and tight. I doubt they will be falling off any time soon. She looks great in her new red nails and mommy's favorite chair is safe and sound. My husband said I should order a set of each color so we can alternate the colors on her toes. Maybe we'll save that snazzy look for the summer months.

Both Lucy and I thank you for such a wonderful product

Gale Weins

Hi! I just wanted to tell you how happy I am with Soft Claws. I tell everyone about your product. You need to advertise more and let pet owners know that there is an alternative to declawing which is fast, safe and effective. I would like to see more colors become available as well. Please consider the color green which would complement many cats eyes and can also be used for holidays-(red/green for Christmas and St. Patrick's Day). If people realized how fun these covers can be as well as productive I'm sure they would use them. Thank you again for providing the Soft Claws-they saved me and my cat from going thru the ordeal of declawing. I just wanted to let you know how great I think Soft Claws are. I was hesitant at first but I am glad I tried them out. My Cornish Rex didn't realize that babies weren't scratching posts so I had to do something. I will not declaw a cat and you provided a safe alternative. It took me less then 10 minutes to apply them and she ignored them after 15-20 minutes. They have been on for a week now with not one problem. I hope that more people choose to use these instead of declawing.

I think you and my children thank you!!
Cathy Williams

Thank you for such a wonderful product. My cat doesn't even know he has them on (however, he's 17 years old, so maybe he doesn't know much of anything anymore!!). I wish I had known about these long ago. They would have saved a lot of ruined furniture and some scratches on my head from when Shadow kneads me before he goes to sleep!! I am thrilled!!!!!!!

Mary

The first thing I would like to say is your product is wonderful....I can't tell you enough how wonderful it is.......my furniture has been ruined more than once, but I would not declaw my cats.......I know how cruel it is, and I think it should be outlawed........I bought your " Lee Press On Nails" ( I love that) and can't say enough about them. You only have to apply the whole set once, and then replace the one's that fall off one at a time......I tell everyone I know about them, and hope they look into it, and not to make you ton's of money, but to hopefully never have to declaw another cat.....by the way I do hope you make ton's of money, you deserve it......can I buy stocks??????

Thank you again
Elaine L. Williams

I've had the Soft Claws on my aggressive three-year-old cat now for about three weeks and aside from the initial "what's this?" reaction, she's had no problem whatsoever with them! About a month ago, I was presented with the option to declaw her or get rid of her by my parents who just ordered new chair coverings. After a battle, I did a little internet searching and found your fantastic product. Once I received the package, I decided to enlist a vet's help, as the cat is none-too-fond of having her paws played with. Oddly enough, when I called PetSmart's VetSmart division, I was told that not only would the vet there not schedule an appointment to assist me, but that he did not believe in the product! I was shocked and happened to mention that they're developed by a vet, but still they refused to see me. The next vet I tried was a female who shared an office with another female vet. Although she hadn't seen Soft Claws ever, she was eager to help and try them out. Needless to say, they were easy to put on, she was enthralled, and my cat no longer faced painful surgery--a good deal all around. It's been three weeks, the new chair coverings have arrived, and although she has gone through the motions of scratching them, there has been no harm done to the chairs.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, you've saved my cat and I much aggravation, unhappiness, and money and I'm very grateful. I'll be ordering more!

Katie Muzik

Thanks, they came in the mail last night. My cats don't get much attention anymore, since we now have two human children, and then it is usually not the kind of attention they like. I trimmed Topaz' claws, and she was in heaven. I put the nail caps on one paw, and she was still purring. By the time I got to the other paw, she wasn't purring, she was still happy with the attention, but a little nervous because one of the little humans was out of the tub. This morning, they were still on, and tonight at bathtime, I will do Mattie's nails. I plan to use my husband's electric hair trimmers to shave our carpet to an even level again, and then I will be able to really tell if the Soft Claws are working for us.

Thanks
Connie

I did get the carpet shaved with my husband's hair trimmer. He is worried that is has dulled the blade, but it's cheaper to buy an new trimmer, than a new carpet! Anyway, the cats can't get a good claw-full of the carpet anymore. We have only had one nail cap come off, and I just picked it up, and glued it back on.

Thanks for a great product!

We've been using Soft Claws on our cat for a year now. We love them. They last a very long time on our cat. We only have to change them about once a month.

He's used to us touching his paws now, and the process goes pretty easy.

I'm glad we had this option instead of declawing, which I'm aware messes up a cats hormonal balance.

Thanks.....we love your product. We will continue to use them for the life of our current cat and other "babies" to come.

Elena & Pierre Ardantz

Thank you so much for such a wonderful product. My wife and I recently decided to bring some cats into our home, and my life has been turned upside-down. I've never had cats before, and they know all the right buttons to push! These Soft Claws are going to be a sanity saver for me!

Steve Wrona

Hello! The Soft Claws arrived on Monday, and after some struggling, we were able to get them onto both cats. So far, we've only had 2 come off. We'll be replacing them tonight. Im so happy to have them! No more affectionate clawings, or torn curtains and couches!!!

I just wanted to say thank you for making Soft Claws available on the web. I live overseas on an Air Force base and I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been online. We just bought an Italian leather sectional and with two cats it probably wasn't the smartest idea. I'm totally against declawing because I love my cats to much to inflict such pain upon them and clipping their nails wasn't enough. Soft Claws is a great invention and a humane solution. The cats didn't even notice them half an hour after they were on. Next time I'll order colors!

Sincerely
Amanda

Hello I just had to write to you.. We have always adopted our cats from shelters.. I have always been lucky with introductions between existing cat and new cat... Well in august of 2000 our older cat died and this Feb I decided it was time to get our depressed younger cat 4years old (whom we adopted declawed)a new Pal. We found a cute 3 legged 1yr. who was easy going at the shelter. I took her home and did slow intro as usual..well this easy going little cat decided to show us she had spunk and came out with all her claws put forward... and scared our existing cat to death! So we backed up a bit and started the slow intro over again... with one new item Soft Claws hot pink for our little feisty new "Pal" well here we are in mid May and they are getting along much better. Our existing cat(Figaro) thanks you for his intact rear end, New cat (Gigi) thanks you for saving her new found home! Our family thanks you a million times over for saving our sanity and for making such a great product. The Soft Claws really made the score even and gave us the peace of mind needed to let them out together...

Thanks Karie L.

I just received my order of Soft Claws for my 16 year old cat and they are wonderful. Very simple to apply and so far she has not lost one.

My cat is my best friend and I love her to death, so I could never bring myself to declaw her, even though she has torn up many couches. She is a very intelligent girl, but just can't fight the urge to scratch. Our new sofa set has started to become a huge cat scratching post and I did not know what to do. My fiancé loves her, but also was very frustrated by watching our furniture be destroyed.

I went on the Internet looking for help and came across your website. I wish I had found your product years ago!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful product that helps us who love our animals. I cannot recommend your product enough.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,
Audrey L. Rossi

I just got my first set of Soft Claws for my two cats, and wanted to say thank you. They are wonderful! My cats don't even seem to notice that they have them on, and now I can spend some money on good furniture. I can't believe I never heard of these before. I'm telling all of my friends!

Valerie Francescato

I work in a pet adoption center and rescue cats and I am amazed by the number of people that don't know how inhumane declawing is. I never adopt cats to anyone who is considering declawing. I always recommend Soft Claws nailcaps to everyone! I even made a poster and put pictures and info. about Soft Claws that I got out of a pet catalog. I discourage declawing and would never declaw any of my cats. I know most vets don't recommend it. I even put that on my poster, telling people it is a painful and inhumane procedure. I tell people try something painless and simple. Try Soft Claws nail caps. Although I have not used Soft Claws I plan to order 3 sets! 2 for my cats and 1 for my dog who always paws and scratches everyone. Many people come back to "Furburbia"(the pet adoption center) and tell me thanks because Soft Claws has worked so well for them. Now they too are telling their friends not to declaw, but try Soft Claws for both cats and dogs! Thanks. Now less people hurt their cats by declawing, instead they just order Soft Claws and they love the cute colors too. Great product! You're protecting many kitties from pain!

Thanks again!
-Megan Campbell

I just received the Soft Claws on Monday, and had my son hold the cats for me while I glued. As expected, my female put up a bigger fuss than the male. I have only lost 1 on each cat since Monday...which I thought was ok, since this was the first time...figuring maybe I didn't get enough glue on them, as a possibility.

As of right now, they are both doing just fine and have adjusted quite well. My female is the couch scratcher and I finally gave up trying to stop her. She is about 3 yrs old. My male used a scratching post, but I had to put them on him as well, due to the occasional cat fight.

I had made an appt for a tendonotomy for the female, but cancelled it. I have worked in vet offices, in the clinic of the Humane Society and have always thought the declawing was barbaric. I can't believe it is so accepted on a daily basis. I saw a cat lose his mind in pain, in his cage, and had to be put down after the declaw. It was awful, and have hated it ever since. I also find cropping ears equally as barbaric. I owned a Miniature Schnauzer for 11 years and she did just fine without her ears cropped.

I wish this country would proclaim declawing and ear cropping a crime.

Thanks for letting me "vent."
Carol Petrovich

We were surprise and pleased with quick/efficient customer service. (less than 48 hr. turnaround time) We don't trim nails regularly, so thought the task would be harder. A helpful tip for me...was to place each soft paw nail tip (open end up) in a strip of play dough. I filled each with adhesive, then applied one by one, to each nail. The playdough kept them from tipping and spilling glue! Now when I put my nail glue in the freezer..i'll wrap the play dough for the next application. Our cat doesn't even mind them on.

Thanks a bunch!

I've been using Soft Claws since March. At the time I first applied them, my kitten was 7 months old. I decided to try them, since my kitten wasn't using a scratching post, I had new furniture, and the declawing option wasn't an option for me (it's barbaric!).

The first time I applied the Soft Claws was the hardest, and it wasn't overwhelmingly difficult. Subsequent applications are usually one at a time, as they fall off, thus easier.

My cat's now a year old and the Soft Paws have been really successful. It takes only about 1 minute to replace one, and my cat endures it without much fanfare.

Laura M. Horovitz, Savannah GA (And Taz, Mooney, Jackpot (JP) and Lil'Baby)

I received my Soft Claws on Saturday. Thought I had ordered clear but received blue - no big deal, my male cat thinks he's cool with blue toes!

They were actually much easier to apply! I am excited to see how well they work...since I have new carpet & new furniture! Thanks so much for your help. The two females are going along like nothing happened.

Cyndy Gilbert

They have worked better than anything else we have tried. Tried to just keep them trimmed--that worked until he started clawing an Amish quilt. Oops. Shirley has nooooooo sense of humor. 

Ben Conner

I recently purchased Soft Claws for both of my cats. I just wanted to thank you for making this wonderful product available over the Internet. They fussed a little bit when I first put them on but after a few days they didn't even realize they were there. They look adorable in their purple and red nails.

Lisette Angelillo

Both of our kitties have adjusted completely. They both groomed their paws a bit right afterwards but began acting normal soon after. The kitty we were most concerned about (he's real scratcher) has been

best--all 10 Soft Claws still on! The other kitty has had a few fall off, but that's because we cut his nails too short--before we read the directions! :) At any rate, they are both doing well. Also, while we originally purchased the blue on a whim, the colored nails turned out being better because I can see whether they are still on from across the room. Great bonus.

Thanks for the solution. 

Amanda

I just placed my second order for Soft Claws they have worked beautifully - we have a very temperamental cat - who loves to sneak up and attack the others. So the claws are working and saving the hides of the other cats....thank you.

Lori Martinez ----------Great Product!

At first I had my vet put Soft Claws on my cat and he tolerated them very well. A month later I ordered them from you, put them on the cat myself and he doesn't even seem to notice.

This is a much better solution than declawing!

Carl

Although I would like to accept my cat's claws without discrimination, I can't stand the many scratches that show up on my hands, arms and legs. Before I knew better, I was going to have my cats declawed! Luckily, I learned what the procedure entailed and quickly changed my mind. Then I read about Soft Claws and though it was a great idea. So I tried the product out and it is purrfect! My cats don't scratch me anymore, the furniture remains intact, kitty bath day is less traumatic, and best of all, my three kitties retain their sense of dignity and security because the still have their claws!! The cats don't mind the Soft Claws at all and even look so cute wearing the nice colors they come in! They are simple to apply it takes me about 10 minutes to put them on all three cats and they stay on for a couple of weeks at a time. I usually only have to replace 1 or 2 caps every week. This is absolutely the best compromise for cats and cat owners!!

Thanks April Nicewonger

I have had trouble with my three Persians for years. They have always systematically destroyed all couches and other upholstered items in my house, despite the fact that they also actively use their cat scratching posts. I am totally opposed to declawing though, so I thought I was stuck. I first found out about Soft Claws years ago when I saw a display at my vet's office, but I never got around to asking about them. I recently decided to move in with my significant other however, and he is not so thrilled about living with cats.

I went online and found Soft Claws. I decided to give it a try since I could order the caps online and they were pretty cheap. They were pretty easy to apply once I got them, so I sat back to wait and see how the cats would react. They didn't even know they were wearing them! Plus the caps stayed on remarkably well. I had to replace two caps after about 24 hours that had fallen off, but I'm pretty sure they fell off because I didn't have enough glue in them. All three of my cats have been wearing the caps for about a week now, and I've had no more problems. Soft Claws are the best thing I've ever discovered for my cats.

Thanks a million, Margaret

The Soft Claws are Fantastic!!! He didn't even care when we put them on and I have less scratches now. I think I will put the fake nails on his back claws too though because he likes to kick.

I really appreciate all of your advice.

I have been using Soft Claws for a long time, almost 5 years. I think they are an excellent product, and a far better option than declawing.

I just wanted to send you an e-mail to let you know that this product is fabulous! I have an older cat that I had declawed several years ago and it was a painful experience for both of us. When we adopted our kitten recently, I was very torn about doing it again since I really felt declawing to be somewhat inhumane. My vets(both women by the way) recommended that I try Soft Claws with the kitten and ordered them for me. To my delight and surprise, the kitten has had no problem adjusting at all! In fact, she doesn't even notice them. Thank you for providing this as an option to those of us who love both our furniture and our cats!!

I recently ordered Soft Claws for my three cats from your website. They have all taken to them well, and don't even seem to notice that they are wearing them. I also just bought a new leather sofa to celebrate my new found freedom from cat furniture destruction.

Thanks Maggie

We are having success with our first application of Soft Paws. We have two 11 year old cats. They have lived indoors exclusively their whole lives, and they have mauled furniture with delight the entire time. We figured that we'd live and learn. Our next cats would be declawed. We'd suffer through this delightful pair.

Then we learned about Soft Claws. Not really expecting much, and expecting the cats would handily remove them or else be driven insane by the sensation of wearing them, we put them on three or four days ago. After application, they did what they normally do after nail clippings: they vigorously cleaned their "nails," and yanked on them with their teeth. The Soft Paws held. The cats pretty much ignored them after a while.

A day later, we noticed that two nail caps were missing from one of the cats. We never found the missing nail caps. We reapplied with fresh Soft Claws. These have held. The cats seem oblivious to them. The only novelty is they now have purple "nails."

Thanks, Gregg Fedchak

Many, many thanks for Soft Claws!

My 16 year old cat doesn't mind them at all and my new furniture is unmarked - which makes my husband happy too!

Thanks! Donna

As a cat lover and lover of all animals, I applaud you for the information you have put out for all to see. Declawing is inhumane, and I can't believe that anyone who loves animals would perform such a procedure. I use little caps called Soft Claws on my kitty. He stays intact and so does my furniture. They do come off eventually just like nail tips and have to be replaced about every 5-8 weeks. If he were to ever get outside, he could still get up a tree and out of harms way.

Thanks again! Lisa

I can't tell you how excited I was to find Soft Claws and as I read about them, I grew hopeful. I ordered them right away, and while I waited for them to arrive in the mail, I started randomly playing with my cat's paws to get her used to my touching them (yeah right). She still doesn't like me touching them but she lets me put Soft Claws on her (I have to sort of trap her with my body, but it really is a one-person job). I put them on a few at a time so she wouldn't go ballistic. She struggles a little bit, but as soon as the nail cap is on and I let go, it's as if nothing happened. She generally doesn't even seem to notice them at all, and she only chewed one of them off (due to my inattention). As long as I'm watching, I can distract her from doing that until the glue has dried.

I proudly announce to all of my anti-declawing friends that I found an alternative that works. I'm telling everyone I know because I think it's a wonderful product and has really been great for me and my cat.

Just wanted to say how great Soft Claws are, and what a wonderful idea and alternative to declawing! My Persian Cat, Kahlua, has shredded my stereo speakers, the carpet on my stairs, a chair, and many other household items. I just got a new couch and loveseat and was not going to spend all of that money to have it destroyed! So my friends and co-workers told me to get my cat declawed, it was the only solution! They all have their cats declawed and told me that alot of vets perform the procedure daily as if it is no big deal. Then I called my vet about the procedure and she told me she would NOT declaw any cat ever! That told me that there must be more to it than a mere daily procedure. So I did some research and came across your web site. I am so glad I did. My cat is like a kid to me. Having her declawed would have been like taking my child to the hospital for unnecessary plastic surgery!
