It got progressively worse. When we got a new carpet it started to become a real problem. We tried EVERYTHING to get him to stop scratching: - Every type of vertical/horizontal scratching post...he used them in addition to the carpet. - Covering his "favorite" scratching spots with a throw....he found new "favorite" spots on the carpet to scratch. - Positive reinforcement for using the right spots using treats and encouragement...reduced but didn't stop the carpet scratching. - All kinds of corrective training methods: moving him from the carpet to the scratching post, loud noises, squirt gun even!......he just did it when we weren't at home. We don't believe in declawing...and we were at our wits end. That's when we found Soft Claws. And PEACE at last has been returned to our house. The carpets are happy, our cat is happy, and we don't even have to THINK about the scratching problem anymore let alone not having to spend time train our cat. Here are my favorite aspects of Soft Claws: * NO MORE SCRATCHED UP CARPET - This of course was the goal. He no longer even tries to scratch the carpet (though he still attempts to use the scratching posts). * EASY - As easy to apply as cutting his nails...done in minutes. I did it successfully without another person to hold him on the first attempt. * DOESN'T BOTHER MY CAT - He doesn't even notice they are on. I thought for sure he would try to bite/lick them off....but nothing. He seemed not even to notice them when they first went on. There wasn't even a few minutes of adjustment (though I still made sure to watch him for the first day). * THEY LAST - I have only had one fall off in the past 7 weeks....and I think that was due to me not putting enough glue. * NO MORE SCRATCHED PEOPLE - This was a great added bonus. Sometimes he's grumpy...he can't help it...he's an old man and you are bothering his nap time! But now his swats have no sting. It seems to have mellowed him out so that he doesn't even take a swat at people as often. * OTHER CATS - We have another, younger cat who does not wear Soft Claws (she doesn't have the bad carpet scratching habit). It hasn't really affected their interaction at all. All in all we are happy - it has been only 2 months but we have not a single problem with this product and only great experience! -------------------------------------------------------------- 7/27/2012 Update..it's been a year later and here are the general observations: *HINTS* --REMOVED MYSELF INSTEAD OF FALLING OFF: I sometimes had to remove the Soft Claws because they didn't fall off naturally. After some research online I read up on cats nails and how they shed, and how that natural shedding is what makes the Soft Claws fall off. Apparently my cats nails are uncooperative. So, I would monitor the Claws and when they started to get too long I would cut just the very tip off to help encourage them to fall off naturally (BE CAREFUL NOT TO GO TOO FAR - you don't want to hit the quik of the cat's real nail (i.e. the part that will bleed). This was a small hassle but WAY less then the carpet scratching so YAY -- They *sometimes* got things stuck on the cat temporarily. I came home once to find him with a small cat toy stuck to his paw....he didn't seem to notice or be bothered by that at all, but I would have been if I were him. I must say though, in the year of using them, he didn't have any injuries or health problems from the Soft Claws. -- GET THE COLORS: We're not even the kind of people that put clothing on our animals, BUT the colored claws have an advantage over the clear: You can easily see when one falls off and check the length of them without holding the cat down and fighting to check each one. I started with clear but ended up only using color. *BONUS**** IT BROKE THE SCRATCHING HABIT!!* Few! this old cat has FINALLY learned! The Soft Claws seem to have done the trick to break his habbit. After a little under a year of use, we have been Soft Claws free for 2 months now and he hasn't reverted yet. This is the ideal thing! We keep Soft Claws on hand just in case he reverts back to his Old Habbits. *Hint: I started only putting the new claws on after he started scratching at the carpet again.* Review: Stops scratching, and makes people less afraid of kitties. Doesn't work if you neflect to check cat's paws. - I LOVE these. I've used them on tons of cats for multiple years of all different personality types. One HUGE guy hated his paws touched, so we'd only do his front legs, and it would stop him from scratching the couch. We would just work in a team to get them on his feet. My feral rescue had some severe scratching issues, and these broke her of all of her "preferred" scratching spots. After about 2 months of Soft Claws, I was able to create new OK spots for her to scratch which came with heavy rewards, diverting the problem somewhere OK. She HATED getting these put on, but I can announce that I haven't used soft paws on her for two years, and my furniture is still good! That said, I recommended these to my mother, who has two slow, fat cats. She's really afraid of cutting their nails, and also hated that they scratched her furniture. No matter WHAT I told her to do, she wouldn't follow through, and was inches from getting her cats declawed (which is inhumane, and ABSOLUTELY NOT an alternative). She had the vet install them on the cats for a small fee, and told me how much she LOVED them for the first month. The thing is that these normally fall off naturally after a few weeks, but they didn't on her cats. I am a frequent checker of my cats for cuts and scrapes, and have curtailed many a cyst, but my mother apparently never goes over them to make sure their health is OK. About 4 of the nails kept growing with the caps on them, and the caps were forced into the paw pads of the kitties requiring an emergency trip to the vet to fix. The thing was that this is EASILY preventable, but good luck explaining that to my mother NOW. My sphynx cat had one claw that refused to fall off, and well before it reached her paw pads, I just trimmed the tip off using nail cutters, and then carefully peeled the nail off. Easy. Tips on keeping the claws on, and preventing growth into the cat's paws: ~Trim your cats nails the DAY BEFORE application. If you do it immediately before, any sharp or loose nail edges will make it less likely for the glue to hold ~ Check every single claw before application. If the lower portion of the open side that would be closest to the paw pad) seems larger than average, trim it before application. This will prevent the edge from growing into the cat's paw pad. ~ If the caps are too large for your cat (test one without glue, first.) Trim a small portion off the open end. This will help make sure they stay on the cat longer, too. ~If you have a wiggly or aggressive cat, have one person calm them with treats and a second person put glue into ALL of the caps for one (or all) paws. Put all of the caps on as fast as possible, and keep rewarding kitty. Make it a very positive experience. Wrapping him in a blanket might work, but you might make the experience of having his paws touched a traumatic one for the future. These need to be reapplied at least every month, so this will be frequent. ~have paper towel handy. If too much glue is used, it will leak around the edges. Dab at this with paper towel before releasing the claw to prevent the nail gluing to the skin or fur of your cat. This may just be me, but my older sphynx girl drools HEAVILY upon application, so we have to dab her mouth the whole application time, or else wind up drenched in cat drool. ~Keep your cat on your lap with lots of pets and treats for a GOOD 5 minutes after application. If you don't do this, you'll likely have half of the nails pulled off the second you let the cat down. It also helps to have some play time afterwards, too. Just do enough to keep your cat distracted from licking his feet. And most importantly: ~Check your cats paws at LEAST once a week after application. Make it a habit to check your cat for scratches every week, and then look over the paws, too. If any seem to be growing close to the pad, trim them away ASAP. Checking kitty also lets you make sure there are no unusual or swollen scratches, as cysts are a common issue in cats. These claw caps are wonderful, but they're not MAGIC. They still require some work to get on, and maintain, but it's definitely cheaper than a new couch. If you are willing to put in a LITTLE extra work, these go a long way. I also love that colors can be customized! It lets me give my cats a little bit of personality without actually doing something as dumb as actually painting their nails :p ## Features - THE ORIGINAL, USA-MADE NAIL CAP: Soft Claws started it all!

It lets me give my cats a little bit of personality without actually doing something as dumb as actually painting their nails :p ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great way to save your furniture *by C***K on March 7, 2012* I have been using another brand of claw caps for several years and recently switched to these because they're a bit less expensive. I have had no bad experience with the quality of the caps, they seem identical to the original brand (SoftPaws). I would like to address a few comments from other reviews. In general if your cat will allow you to trim its claws, you won't have difficulty in applying these. The first application may need to be done over a few days because they may get tired of you messing with their claws before all ten are applied. If you go into an enclosed room (bathroom) to apply them it is much easier because the cat knows there is no escape, and therefore will fight you less. My extremely large cat is simply uncomfortable being held on my lap, so I make him lay on the bathroom counter to get his claws done. The smaller cat I just sit on my lap and trim/apply from there. Neither loves to have their claws done, but both tolerate it. It makes a HUGE difference if you start applying them when your cat is young. My old cat never quit trying to chew them off, his claws were practically nubs because he just never got completely comfortable with them. So he tended to need new caps applied much more frequently than my younger cats who have worn them since they were kittens. Also, a cat who tends to scratch a lot will lose them more frequently than one who does so less often. After you insert the claw into the cap with the glue, run your finger around the base of the cap to remove excess glue, which will prevent it sticking to their fur and making an uncomfortable lump of glue. It is also advisable to hold and pet your kitty for five minutes after the caps are applied to keep them from pulling the caps off before the glue dries. if your caps are coming off sooner than you think is reasonable, try a smaller size. it doesn't really matter how far up the claw the cap extends, and you don't want any air to be between the cap and the claw, as that will reduce surface area for the glue to stick and they'll be more likely to come off. If your cat does not eventually get the claws off themselves with normal clawing activity, you may need to cut them off. Definitely do this before the end of the cap touches their toe-pad. Just trim the end off as though you were trimming a raw claw, and then, using a claw trimmer or sharp scissors, cut the top edge of the cap along the top of their claw and remove the remaining cap. This will prevent you trimming the claw too closely. If your cats claws are sharp after the claw comes off, it is a result of normal shedding of claw material. If they still look trimmed, then the claw came off or was chewed off prior to normal shedding and you may want to try using a smaller size, using more glue, or holding them longer once new caps are applied. Personally I like the colored caps because it's easier to see that caps have been lost and need to be replaced. In my experience after the first set of caps have been applied, a box of 40 will last you 8-12 weeks, depending on the cat. I normally only apply caps to the front paws, I just trim the back claws. I have applied caps to the inside claws on the back when one of my cats had an irritation and was scratching herself raw. This prevented her breaking the skin on an already irritated spot. ## Frequently Bought Together - Soft Claws Feline Cat Nail Caps Take-Home Kit, Medium, Red - Soft Claws Feline Cat Nail Caps Take-Home Kit, Small, Pink --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/4929576-soft-claws-nail-caps-for-medium-cats-40-caps-red](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/4929576-soft-claws-nail-caps-for-medium-cats-40-caps-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
