Update!!: it’s 2020 my sweet boy turns 6 this year. I STILL LOVE these. He’s gotten to where some months he won’t even notice they fell off for awhile and won’t even bother scratching at things. However, once he notices. Man, he goes all out. He is now a big (healthy) chunker that weighs 18 pounds. I alternate between large and medium for him and medium for his now girlfriend who weighs about 8-10 pounds. They both try to take them off as soon as I put them on. However, after a few minutes they have forgotten about them again.Original post: I absolutely love these! I started using this product about 4-5 months ago. I wanted to give it enough time before, I wrote a review.So here's my story:My sweet kitten just turned one in June and was getting/ tearing up everything! Trimming his nails didn't help, a big scratching post didn't work. Absolutely nothing helped. My fiancé started to push for us to declaw him just because, the cat was getting very out of hand. However, since I'm not big on declawing I went to the Internet! These are what I've found!I've ordered both a small and a medium of these and have found that medium work best. Id say if the cat is younger than one get small, any older it's best to get medium.The Good:-Basically what these are, are rubber caps that go onto your cats nail. They do not hurt them and for the most part the glue holds strong. It's a special glue that won't hurt the animals nails. Nor will it damage anything. They are still able to use their nails however, they arnt nearly as sharp.The Bad:- I've noticed on some of these reviews they complain the nails don't stay long enough or stay on to long. I have had a situation with both. I have learned it truly varies on two things: how much glue you put into the nail and how fast your cat's nails grow. Be sure to trim the cat's nails before putting the nail caps on that way they get the longest life span possible. Sometimes, My cat will lose a nail cap after a week of me putting them on. This has nothing to do with the product. It just means my cat was to fidgety and I didn't put as much glue as I needed too. Some of the nails are different sizes. So make sure that the bigger ones go on the bigger nails (obviously).The Ugly:- There was one time that I had notice my cat had two nails stuck longer than any of his other nail caps ( about two months). I had already replaced all the other ones at least once. However, those two were stuck like some of the horror stories suggested in previous reviews. To be honest it isn't a huge deal. It just means for some reason they stuck better. I learned that to get those two nails that were “super stuck” off. All you have to do it get a cotton ball with nail polish remover on it and rub the cats stuck nail cap until it pops off. It took only a matter of minutes. Also, it is notable to mention the glue dries very quickly. I've learned not to put the glue cap back on. Otherwise, you will never be able to open the glue again. I just put it in a sandwhich bag away from everything until my next use.Also, it does NOT rip out the nail!!! What you see when the nail falls off is dried glue that came up when it fell off the cats nails.Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone considering to buy it. I've only had to buy two packages in all the months I've been using this product. Great price for the quantity and quality!

I actually put these on my cat's back legs toenails because she was scratching her face and neck with them so severely that she was bleeding and getting crusty scabs. I cut her back toe nails but still when she scratched herself, which wasn't very often, just a little bit a day, she still did a bunch of damage to her skin. And I know for a fact it has nothing to do w/ fleas because I always make sure I put on advantage multi once a month. And even the vet said she didn't see any fleas or flea dirt. So the next reason they look for the scratching is allergies. The problem is the allergies if not from fleas, could be from just about anything: pollen, dust, something in their food. My cat only goes outside for about an hour a day and it's always in my little fenced off courtyard. And my house is always super clean. So I switched her to cat food for cats with allergies. And while it helped her somewhat, it still didn't help her from giving herself scabs. I had already spent hundreds of dollars at the vet trying to figure out the cause of the itching but to no avail. And maybe if I spend hundreds and hundreds more, we might find the cause. But still the cause may never be discovered. So while I wanted to stop the scratching, my last resort was to just stop her from hurting herself when she does scratch. So I tried varies anti-itching pills including benadryl, but they all caused her to throw up.So, I ordered these just for her back toe nails (I could care less whether or not she scratches my couch slip cover.) I didn't have a lot of expectations, but boy have these exceeded my expectations. They are easy to put on; I did it myself. But I did have her wait 15 minutes, even though the instructions say 5 before running around just to make sure they were on, and that was the only hard part, because as soon as I was done she wanted off my lap. One fell off after 2 days, but that's just because I didn't put enough glue one it. I was able to find it and reglue it and now it is still on her. I've had them on her now for about 2-3 weeks and all of the soft claws remained on, except for one, but that was because it was that natural time for the nail to shed. So, just like the soft claw was supposed to, the soft claw came off and you could see the part of the nail that shed still in it.They look so cool, and serve a great purpose. I got the color pink, but the pink is more like an orangish pink rather than a hot pink, which I would have preferred. But I really can't complain. My cat is now scab free and it is all due to Soft Claws. Thank you for the person who invented this, because it really saved my cat from hurting herself.
