Cat Tips

  Maybe you haven’t been entirely successful training Fluffy to use the scratching post. Or maybe you just got new leather furniture and are worried that Fluffy could damage it. What to do? SoftPaws to the rescue!

“Soft Paws” are vinyl nail caps that are glued on to your cat’s existing nails. They look like a cat’s nail, but they’re hollow. They are easy to apply and cats tolerate them extremely well. They’re available in clear as well as designer colors.

Your cat can continue to scratch to her heart’s delight without damaging anything, and she can walk on your leather sofa without leaving claw marks. Put them on your cat’s hind paws to help prevent self-inflicted damage from scratching. And, it’s an excellent alternative to declawing.

    Easy to apply? I wish it were so. Not with my cats, anyway. I know someone who has done this with his cat, and he said it takes two people to accomplish.

    my 10yr old kitty has gotten soooooooo skiny..

    I feed him pate’, and yogert to try and put some weight on him.

    His dry food is Purina One for Male Kitties…

    It seems if I could just feed him gravy from canned cat food he would eat more..

    Help,
