Anyone try these? I put some on Spaz a few days ago, and they seem to work well.

Would love to get these for Sweetie, unfortunately I don't think I have enough blood to give.

They would be better if you could put it on from a distance for safety reasons  :hanged:

Spaz is only about 6 pounds (3 months old), so I can hold him down to trim his claws or put these on. He's pretty cooperative.

flo hates having her hands touched

i could do her feet, but id have to wait till shes fast sleep to do her hands

she only scratches the carpet in the morning tho, to get my mum up to make breakfast

people moan too mucch about cats scratcching carpets/curtains/furniture

who cares

seriously, can anyone even tell unless they inspect the carpet/curtain/furni?

I have been ripped apart by cats before our current ones don't like you doing anything but petting them.

The very idea of designer nailware for cats is karma-worthy! I'm not game enough to try putting them them on my cat.  :o  But if Spaz isn't freaked out by them, good find, and well done, Earthbound. The range of colours is impressive. South Sydney Rabbitohs F.C. supporters will be pleased to know that Softpaws are available in the team red & green (Christmas? What is this Christmas you speak of?) and for the patriotic Aussie cat, the green & gold pack is just the ticket. :thumbup:

Furniture & the carpet aren't really a big deal here, everything is used or old enough where some scratches just add to the antique look.

She's really brutal with the kneading though, digs her claws right in, especially painful at 5:00 am when she sinks them in the back of your thigh because she's up, so she figures you should be too. :laugh:

they look good, the cat i had used to walk his front feet up the side of your leg using his claws and they would have been great for that!
however (geek mode engaged) in a serious fight cats will used their back feet to rake the oponents belly so if you have a cat who goes outside it might be a good idea to not put them on the back ones. (geek mode disengaged)

He sneaks out the door sometimes so I only put them on his front paws.

The cat modelling them looks just like Olka, except she has a dark spot on her nose and a few ginger streaks
