Cat's claws

For the fans... :)

No I didn't paint Lily's claws pink! They wear SoftPaws, which are vinyl caps that go on the cats claws. You trim the claws, put glue in the caps, then just slide them over the nails. They last until the claw sheds - usually about 4 weeks.

Our girls race all over the leather dining chairs, and both have long, sharp claws, so they kept scratching our furniture acidentally. So with these covers, they don't tear the furniture up... so much. And it makes playing more fun! They're inside cats, so don't need to climb trees for escape purposes.

Lily had kitten sized SoftPaws which were clear, but now she's getting bigger, she upgrading to the pink "small cat" sized caps.

Here's a pic of Stumpy showing off her SoftPaws.

cheers sarah - was getting a little worried about you there for a second. I'm guessing these soft paws are an american invention? ;)

I was assuming they were something along the lines of preventing cat scratches. How do you get them on?! We have to bribe Sully with copious amounts of cream cheese just to cut her claws, we're lucky to get 4 paws done in one sitting, let alone cut the claws and then glue something over them!
