CAT LOVEPURR

As an alternative to declawing my kitten, I was reading about Soft Paws, vinyl nail caps for the cat’s nails.?

I was wondering what people thought about them, if they are uncomfortable for the cat, and if the cat is able to retract their claws with the caps on. Thanks!

I’ve never used soft paws. But I never needed them. My cat doesn’t really scratch stuff up. And she doesn’t even have a good scratching post (working on making her one). From what I’ve heard from people that do use them it’s about 50/50. Some people say they work wonders and others say they fall off within a week. So I think it all depends on your cat.

Here are a few items you can use to stop a cat from scratching:
A bottle/can with something noisy in it
Air (I use a balloon pump)
Aluminum foil
Anything citrus smelling (spray/rub in on whatever they’re starching)
Double sided tape
Scratching post
Spray that stops them (there all different kinds)
Trim their nails back once a week
Water bottle spray (I use this are works good)

Also if you have a scratching post & your cat is not using it you can get some catnip & rub it on there or they sell catnip spray. Also it might not be big enough. A scratching post needs to be as tall as that cat (about 32”).
Good luck!!
