Before you ever start trying to trim your cat’s nails, take the time to get her accustomed to you touching and examining the feet. Once she’s relaxed about that, hold the clippers against her claws without using them. Examine her claws so you get comfortable seeing where the “quick” is inside the nail so you know where not to cut when you do eventually give her a pedicure. |

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. |
