Soft Claws Testimonials

Just wanted to thank you for such a great product. My leather chairs and my cat (Cinnamon) were not getting along as he liked to rest on the top of them straddling them and using his claws to keep his balance. I sent a picture of Cinnamon wearing the blue ones. They where no problem to put on and he didn't even put up a fight or even notice afterwards.

Thank You

I would like to add that my husband and I love your product. I am forever thankful that I will never have to even consider declawing my cats. Not that that was ever an option really, but when we bought new furniture I was concerned about our investment. When I found softclaws online I ordered them immediately and they have been as great as you advertise. My cats don't seem to even notice them, my furniture is fine, and as an added bonus my babies look adorable with their "manicured" nails.

Thanks again,
Sara Borken

I'm a volunteer cats expert on practical-pet-care.com and allexperts.com. I get a fair share of frustrated cat owners seeking ways to stop their cats from scratching inappropriately. I firmly stand against declawing, so I do not offer this as a viable solution. But maybe a couple years ago, I saw your ad in Cat Fancy Magazine (I'm addicted!). I never had a need to try Soft Claws, but I always suggested trying them to all the cat owners who have ever contacted me with a problem scratcher, and I gave them a link to your site.

A couple months ago, I took in an orphaned kitten who has decided he will not use natural wood, sisal, or a carpeted post to scratch. Only my new couch will do. So I ordered a set of Soft Claws myself. I put them on the kitten (7 months old and HUGE), and he didn't bat an eye. He has no idea they're there! He can't scratch the couch anymore, or climb the Christmas tree for that matter! And it's wonderful for our other cats, too, because he tends to get a little overzealous with play. Now if I could just find soft little caps for his teeth!

Thanks so much for a wonderful product. I will continue to recommend them and give them praise based on my personal experience.

Sincerely,
Jessica Sylvester

What a simple solution Soft Claws was for me. I had tried to stop my cat from clawing our area rug but he wouldn't give it up completely. My husband was ready to have him declawed, but that's something I couldn't bear to do. My two- and six-year old "assisted" me when I applied Soft Claws. Even with their help, it took just a few minutes to do and our cat accepted them without complaint.

I'm so glad to have this product; it helped avert a disagreement in our house.

Thank you!

Many Thanks for this wonderful product and the fast service. I am living in Germany and I received the package within a week. I put them on my cat, Mr. Armani, right away. The red looks nice against his black fur and he doesn't seem to be bothered by them at all! I was very dubious about them working (like so many other people). So far so good! Big Shock! I don't believe in declawing and this is going to be a great way to save my furniture and skin! :) Thanks! I am going to spread the word about Soft Claws.

Sincerely,
Tonya

I thought my cat would never even allow me to put them on her, but she has taken to them like a pro. When I put them on, she doesn't even seem to notice. You have made a great product. I know you hear that all the time, but you have made another believer in me.

Thank you!
Best,
Mina Lloyd

I just wanted to say thank you. I guess this sounds like "another" thank you, but this really is a fantastic product! I really wish I had known about this before I declawed my cat. I'd never done anything like that before with any other cat, but it was my only alternative at the time. I feel awful about it. Now, having leather furniture and my kids, something else had to be done and WOW when the leather repairman came and repaired the couch he suggested and handed me a flyer; said this is all I'll ever need to do. Man, was he right! Please don't raise your prices! That's another plus that makes it affordable for everyone, not just those who have big bucks!

Thanks, and I'll be ordering again and I will be spreading the word of what an awesome product this is!

I am soooo pleased with softpaws already! I found the website when I searched google.com for "alternative to cat declawing". I received them in 3 business days of ordering and was so excited to get them. I do trim my 2 cat's claws routinely so it was very easy to apply the softpaws. In fact, it was easier than trimming their nails since there wasn't any snapping involved like with the clippers. I ordered small blue and they fit both my slender long legged cat Joey and my overweight larger framed cat Alexander (Alex). I applied the softpaws with so much ease to my delight and the cats don't even know they have them on. I thought they were definitely going to start chewing on them but they haven't even given them a second glance. I already called my sister who has 4 cats and recommended them to her, I even emailed her the link to softpaws.com; I'm so excited about this product. I am going to tell everyone I know with cats about this and even offer to help them apply them the first time! Thank you for this easy alternative!!!

I was seriously looking into declawing my cat, Mimi, because I was moving into a new house. My boyfriend had mentioned SoftClaws and I listened... I didn't think he knew what he was talking about. I called the vet and she explained that declawing was actually an amputation of the cat's first knuckle... I never realized, you know? I asked if there was an alternative and she recommended SoftClaws.

I took Mimi in that week to get "fixed" and they also applied the first set of SoftClaws. What a difference from day 1! She doesn't realize they're on and when one falls off, they're so easy to replace! I've told ALL my friends about them.

What an awesome product.... thank you!

Soft Claws is the BOMB and a blood pressure reducer !!! My cats don't scratch the furniture but they do get their claws caught up in my expensive bedding when shifting around to get comfortable creating loops and snags. The upholstered furniture (feline Jungle Jim) breaks down bit by bit during climbing, leaping, wrestling and general frolicking activities. Well, instead of cringing, helplessly listening to the threads crackle and pop while my blood pressure rises, I can relax now. Those soft claws have for now taken some of the boredom out of my cats as well ....they now have to adapt to getting around the house without using their back paws as rakes, pitchforks, and springboards. They knew something was different after application for a few moments, picked at them for about 90 secs, and forgot about them ever since. If you have an easy going cat they are fun to put on too, and the experience amounts to giving the cat a "pedicure" at the" day spa" without leaving the house. I had known about the caps for a while but assumed they were uncomfortable until I did further reading in the testimonials and browsed over the contented kitty faces in the photo gallery. Speaking of contentment, everybody at my house is happy over Soft Claws. Oh yes, they ship fast too!!! I ordered on an early Friday afternoon and the caps were at my house that Monday ... they were also on the cats one hr after I opened the package. No need to hesitate ordering Soft Claws. I assure you it will help you enjoy your cats even more ..... and vice versa.

Thank you! So far the Soft Paws are wonderful!!! We are on Day 3 & none have fallen off & he doesn't even realize they are there!

I wanted to write to thank you (and the wonderful lady on AOL's Cat Chat board, who told me that this method of avoiding declawing existed). I am the proud owner of the greatest cat in the world. I have had several cats in the course of my lifetime, and can say that this particular cat is the best I've ever known.

We adopted Ziggy from the local pet store, where he was the biggest kitten in a cageful of littler, cuter ones. (he was the leftovers... the one that no one wanted) He was so grateful to be going home with us. Over the next few months we were amazed at his humanlike personality and his generous, loving attitude (even after we had him neutered, he never held a grudge! :)

Ziggy's only fault is actually a backhanded blessing. He loves to sit on your chest, wrap his "hands" around your neck, and lay his face against yours. His kisses are great, but his incessant, ecstatic kneading isn't. (I suspect like many pet store kittens, he was removed from his mother too soon) I was beginning to get comments from people I work with about my neck, face & upper chest being so scratched up - I eventually and reluctantly had to ban him from the bedroom, much to our mutual distress. In desperation, my husband & I decided he had to be declawed, despite the fact that he goes outside occasionally. I got online by chance one night and posed a few questions about declawing on the Cat Chat bulletin board. What vehement responses! It seems that quite a few people out there have tried your product. I was skeptical, but we were desperate. (I worked for a vet.... I know what's involved in declawing.)

Ziggy, to my surprise, didn't put up any fuss while I trimmed his claws in preparation, and only pulled away a bit when I had to push to seat the cap all the way. He never seemed to notice once they were all on! He's now sporting red shiny nails, which delight my kids to no end, and he slept with me for the first time last night. We fell asleep with his arms wrapped round my neck and his paws tangled in my hair. No pain, no fuss. God bless you. I'm telling everyone I know. Thank you for giving me my cat back.

I just had to take the time to write you about your marvelous product! After the loss of our beloved cat, Midnight, whom we had loved for many, many years, we decided that it would definitely take at least two cats to take his place. We brought home our little babies (Mikey and Mattie) and decided that in order to save our home and furniture from these lively little critters, a declaw would definitely be in order. So, I went on-line to see exactly what this entails - I was horrified! And to think I had put Midnight thru this torture without even a second thought - I pray he forgives me for that. There was just no way in the world that I was going to put my little sweetie pies through this awful procedure and luckily, there was a link to Soft Claws in the article I was reading about the declawing procedure. I was absolutely fascinated and before I had even received my first set (which arrived in about a day and a half!!), I was emailing the info about Soft Paws to every cat owner I knew. They are easy to apply, although I do enlist my Husband's help (he holds, I apply) and then afterwards my little ones get a little treat and they're off and running. I just can't thank you enough for your wonderful product - I'm sure if cats could talk they would also be saying a big THANK YOU for saving their little fingers! Soft Claws are absolutely wonderful and the only difficult thing about it is deciding which color should I order! Thank you a million times over! Also, I would like to add that your customer service representatives are very knowledgeable, helpful, kind and caring and that in itself is also a rare treat in this day and age!!! Keep up the great work!!!

A loyal customer,

We just received our order of Soft Claws & wanted to tell you how thrilled we are. They were incredibly easy to put on & Camile doesn't even know she's wearing them! We decided to try them after Camile began beating up on another one of our cats who has no claws. Now at least they're on even ground!

Thanks again-

I wanted to tell you how wonderful my household thinks softpaws are. My husband has been after me, to do something about her picking, since I adopted my little girl Nala when she was 8 weeks old (she is now almost 7 years old). She would pick and scratch at everything. In fact, I had to get a tetanus shot from one of her scratches to my arm. (I still love her) When Taz-z came to us (he is Nala's son) we thought life would be grand. Well, after going through several couches, my husband was real fed up with it. I contacted my veterinarian and he suggested the softpaws. I didn't jump right in, as I doubted as many have. But upon receiving the first order and getting them on, I am hooked. After having just clipped their nails a couple of days prior, they were rather skiddish. My little boy wasn't much problem, and just gave in. He is my mellow orange tabby. But my little girl hates her paws touched and she required two of us to get the job done. Comparatively speaking, Nala my little girl weighs 8 pounds while Taz-z, my little boy weighs 15-17 pounds. Go figure. I have only had to replace a couple on Nala and a handful on Taz-z (he chews them off). But haven't had to replace any in a week. So you have a customer for life. Now maybe my husband can get that leather furniture he has always wanted.

Thanks Soft Claws. You are the greatest.

Just wanted to let you know that Soft Claws are helping make a difference helping greyhounds find their forever homes. I volunteer for Colorado Greyhound Adoptions. A couple of years ago I was asked if I could bring my cat, Broadway, to help 'test' a large group of dogs we were taking in when a kennel was closing down. (Cat testing is done under entirely safe conditions for both cat and dog so that the dogs can be profiled for the right personality to be placed properly, both for fostering and eventually for adoption.)

Where many cats are not very keen on the idea of meeting dog after dog and being sniffed and getting so much attention from a group of strange people, Broadway thrives on it. He now goes 'testing' about once a month at various local kennels. (In his regular life he is an indoor cat who defends our family from all manner of flies and candy wrappers) He loves to be the center of attention, even with strangers and is willing to help 'disclipline' dogs that get too curious by giving them a swat on the nose. We don't want that swat to injure, but often that is what will help a greyhound understand that they don't want anything to do with cats, and makes them able to be placed into homes with cats. Often, he is the first cat that these dogs really get to meet. That's where Soft Claws have made it easier for all involved. Broadway doesn't mind wearing them and he is able to do his 'thing' without causing injury.

Thank you for making Soft Claws and helping Broadway to do his part in getting more greyhounds adopted into their forever homes! (Not to mention the safety of cats that live in those forever homes!)

Here's a picture of Broadway meeting a greyhound in a kennel. Unfortunately I don't have any of him with the Soft Claws standing out, but they're there! Thank you for your interest in Broadway's story!

I just wanted to tell you how happy we are after using SoftClaws. We have four kitties, two that are very feisty, and two that are prone to claw furniture. After applying SoftClaws we don't have to worry about scratched noses or clawed fingers. The cats have accepted the new manicures and seem to not even notice them. They are really the best product we've ever gotten for our cats!!!

I included a picture of one kitty, Misty, who was already Diva but with her red nails now she thinks she is just so gorgeous :-)

Thanks so much!

Just wanted to say thanks for making such a great product! Our kitty was driving us crazy scratching all the furniture, and as we are moving into a brand new condo in a few months, we knew we had to find a solution or risk having our new berber carpet destroyed by him. I brought up the idea of declawing (which I knew absolutely nothing about), and my normally easygoing boyfriend threw a fit and said I'd declaw kitty over his dead body, because it is painful, cruel and involves removing part of kitty's toe. I thought he was crazy at first, because surely if this procedure was so cruel, no one would perform it. However, after doing research, I discovered that he was exactly right. Then a friend of mine told me she had heard about some sort of gel nails for cats that prevented them from damaging furniture when they scratched, so I went online and discovered Soft Claws! Our cat hates to have his paws touched, so we knew getting the SoftClaws on would be a two person job. The first application was the trickiest; kitty squirmed and kicked, but when we finished the application and put him down he licked the SoftClaws for a couple of seconds, then started playing with one of his toys and totally forgot about them. He bore a grudge over the application process and was a little snooty to us for the rest of the night, but when I woke up the next morning, he was curled up next to me purring his head off, so I guess all was forgiven. He lost 2 SoftClaws that day (not enough glue), and much to our surprise when we went to reapply them he stayed nice and still no kicking or squirming at all! Thanks so much, and check out this picture of R.J. modeling his SoftClaws!

You guys (gals) are just wonderful! There is no other way to describe it. I received your letter with the adhesives today. I don't know how you managed to send it to Korea so fast (usually mail from the States takes about 3 weeks)! Softclaws just offers incredible customer service - besides selling a fantastic product - and you can be assured that I will always refer people with cats and dogs to your website. I will also take one of your fliers to the vet here on post next time I go. Thanks so much again and I'll probably be placing another order in a few months.

Sincerely,

Hi, I've been using your pink Softclaws for almost two months and they're great! I just placed my first reorder so we don't run out. My husband was determined to have our cat declawed, even though she's not destructive, but he agreed to try Softclaws first. Our cat Phoebe, a Black Smoke Burmese, doesn't seem to notice them even though she's very active and they just look so cute on her!
Here are several of the better photos I've gotten of her with her pink nails.

Thanks for the great product!

I wanted you to see my Flame Point Siamese, Ashton, with his beautiful blue nails. He's a former street cat, whom I adopted through the Siamese Rescue Organization here in Texas. As far as we know, he lived his first couple of years on the streets of Austin until the local pound picked him up. He'd had a hard life, possibly being hit by a car at some point. He has a blind eye from a cataract, a bad leg that was probably broken and healed poorly on its' own, really bad teeth, and allergies.

I have to say though, that he adapted very quickly to the life of leisure every cat is entitled to! He's been with us for 2 years now, and has been wearing his Soft Claws for close to a year. He destroyed my old sofa, tearing a hole in it big enough for him to walk into! He had terrible scratching habits, which were just natural to him from being in the wild. I don't believe in declawing, and would never do it, so Soft Claws was the answer. He took to the Soft Claws with no problems at all, and just knows that his manicures are part of his grooming routine. If he'll tolerate the manicure, then his treat is getting combed and brushed, which he adores.

Thanks for a great solution to a common problem! I'll send you a picture too of my 18 pound, 12 year old Tuxedo cat, Warren Bitey, wearing his red nails!

PS. I tried the Soft Claws in spite of my vet's hesitation about them. He said he felt they were too difficult for people to put on and to maintain, and that it could be expensive. I have found none of that to be true! I don't know what can be done about it, but I feel that if more vets would endorse this product, more declaw procedures could be avoided! Thanks again!

Very impressed with product. Max was a real scratcher, and he doesn't even know he has these things on. Thanks. The thought of de-clawing him, and his little girl-friend, Mary Ann, broke my heart. They both seem very happy, to be wearing these things. Took me less than 10 minutes, per cat to apply. Max has lost a couple, Mary has not lost any yet, (10 days).

Highly recommend, and have told all my cat friendly friends.

Hi, I just wanted to say how much we love the SoftClaws! I'm about to place another order.

Sophie has the blue, and Theo has the red.

Thanks you!!

We used this photo for our Christmas card in 2002 with the caption "Not a creature was stirring ..." We got so many comments about the Soft Claws that can been seen on Nikky's paws. Thanks for saving our furniture, our sanity and Nikky from undue pain.

My name is Ronnie. I have two kitties, their names are Lionel and Grendel. They both wear Soft Claws. We get three colors because the kitties seem to like it more. Grendel is the oldest, she's Grey, and she's three years old. Grendel was adopted from a farm in Iowa when she was really little. Daddy says she's his baby girl. Lionel is the youngest, he's black and white, and he's two years old. Lionel was adopted from a shelter in Oak Park, Illinois when he was little. Lionel had a broken leg when he went to the shelter, and he only had his cast off for 2 days when we adopted him. He was a ball of energy and he never changed. One time he knocked a plant onto my head at 3:00 in the morning when I was sleeping. Here are some cute pictures of our kitties wearing Soft Claws. I hope they're cute enough to put on your website.

Thank you,
Ronnie Eddy Jr.

My cat Buffy hates to have her nails trimmed, something I had to (try to) do every couple of weeks. She's not really bad about scratching the furniture when we're home, but who knows what she does when we're not home!

So I decided to try SoftClaws and they were fairly easy to put on her. She licked her paws for a few minutes after they were on, but we distracted her with toys and now (a day later) she's fine with them. I can't say she loves them, because what cat doesn't like to dig her claws into something? But one of her favorite thing to do is to stand in my lap and knead, claws spread, so at least she can't dig her claws into me anymore!

If only the SoftClaws could stop her from climbing on the kitchen counters... :)

I ordered soft claws w/very little hope they would actually work. They were my last hope. I had tried everything from scratching posts to sprays to two sided tape. In a desperate attempt to take care of my cat's scratching problem I ordered soft claws and am thrilled. My cat is not very cooperative when it comes to nail clipping, so I thought I was in for a struggle. I had the soft paws on her w/in 15-20 minutes!! I was prepared to go through a process of her getting used to them. However, she tried only briefly to get them off -in no time it seemed she was used to them. I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for your product.

Thanks again!
Valerie Cordova

Thank you so much for the response. We have now had the Soft Claws on for a week and they are wonderful!! What a great idea!! I wish more people knew of these before they had irreversible surgery on their cats.

Thank you again!!
Coreena Dasuki

I admit it -- when I read the testimonials, I was skeptical. But I figured it was worth a try. Our 15-year-old cat has been "post-trained" since kittenhood, but that didn't stop him from shredding 2 sofas and 1 chair over the years. We tried all the deterrents -- tape, foil, awful smelling sprays -- but nothing worked for long. We resigned ourselves to that lived-in look.

I read that the paws were easy to apply -- they really were. Zachary tolerates me clipping his claws, and he tolerated the application of the paws as well.

I was sure he'd chew them off within an hour. Yes, I'd read that the cats hardly seem to know they're on, but my cat is very smart. I'm delighted to tell you that after a few minutes he really didn't seem to notice them. It's been a few days now, and he hasn't been bothered by his new paws in the least.

The best part is that, because of Soft Claws, we have decided against declawing our new kitten. We were very reluctant to consider declawing at all, but weren't willing to sacrifice our nice furniture. And now we don't have to.

Thank you so much for providing this amazing product. I'll spread the word among all the cat owners I know!

Sincerely,
Annette Wiggins

FINALLY!! Our cat is no longer shredding my couch, my carpet or my children's faces and arms ("Whiskers" is very playful). I wish I would have had "Soft Paws" 2 years ago!!! I couldn't have "Whiskers" declawed, it just wasn't in me to do something that seemingly cruel to an animal and giving him away was too cruel to my little girl ("Whiskers" was all that she wanted for Christmas 2 years ago). However, recently I did talk to my local vet about declawing because I was at my wit's end with all the scratching going on in my home. Still, I just knew there had to be a better way to prevent all this damage. I found "Soft Claws" on the internet, THANK GOODNESS!!! Now we can all live in the same house in harmony. Thank you so much.

I just wanted to say that i love your product. We just adopted our second baby, she is a year old and came from the shelter. We have a 13 year old already and she is already declawed so we feared of fights with our older girl as well as our velvet couch. I'm so glad i have an alternative to the terrible declawing. I will tell everyone i know what a wonderful product this is. It took two of us for application, one to hold one; one to apply. The hardest part was trimming! application was easy. Thank you for the super fast shipment. we ordered on Thursday night and received them on Saturday.
Thank you so much again.

Kimberly and Miso

I was considering declawing my cats until I stumbled upon Softclaws.com on the internet. I was extremely skeptical at first, but after trying them on my 2 cats, I am now a believer! My cats had absolutely no problems adjusting to them. I doubt they even noticed that they had them on! Now I don't have to worry about them clawing my beautiful new furniture, rugs, bed etc.! Please don't ever stop making Soft Claws!
