Softer Claws For Your Cat If You Can Keep Them On
|
The Soft Paws / Soft Claws for Cats get rave reviews all over the Internet. We have a Bengal kitten/cat, roughly 11 months old, which has his front claws removed but still has his rear claws. He likes to jump up onto your shoulders and sometimes overshoots and therefore tries to dig in with his rear nails. I'm sure you can imagine how painful this is for me and my family members. Our kitty also sometimes likes to kick his rear feet, like a bunny rabbit, while he is playing. Those rear nails are sharp as razor blades and slice right through human skin like butter.
We called our local vet to see if declawing the rear paws was advisable. Keep in mind, this is an indoor-only cat who is never allowed outdoors. Also, my wife provides daycare service in our home, so we can't risk having having the children in her care scratched all up by our playful kitten. The vet told us that removing the rear claws may cause the cat to become a bitter; which is especially common with Bengals. The vet then recommended the Soft Claws product to us, so we eagerly ordered up a couple of packs from Amazon.
We are on the second week of using this product. First of all I have to say that this product is a wonderful idea but isn't quite as perfect as people have claimed. We purchased the clear covers, which I highly recommend as it would probably be very hard to visualize how much glue you were squeezing into a colored nail cover. Our kitten squirmed a bit but soon settled down and allowed us to install all of the covers on his rear nails. The problem is, several of the nail covers we received in our kits were slightly different in size and a few of them didn't even have the slits cut in them, so we had to throw several of the covers away. Within the first 24 hours our kitten had chewed/pulled off 5 of the 8 nail covers. We installed new covers right away but 3 more were missing within the next 24 hours. Two weeks later we have yet to keep all 8 of the nail covers on our kitten. The size of the covers are correct, and we have tried using more glue to get them to adhere better. They just don't seem to be able to withstand the chewing and tugging that our cat subjects them to. We have already gone through an entire kit and are well on our way through the second. We had to throw away 5 of the nail covers in the second kit as well, as they were defective and not usable.
Overall I cannot blame the manufacturer for the fact that our cat continues to chew off the covers; although a better adhesive might help. However, there is no excuse for the many defective covers that were included in the two kits we received. I certainly think this product is a GREAT idea; a terrific and humane alternative to declawing a kitten or cat. But with the poor quality control we have experienced with the kits we received, it is very hard for us to recommend these to others. I am glad that many other people have had pleasing results with this product. We are going to order two more kits soon, and hopefully we will receive better results this time around. |
