How should I stop him from trying to bite off his soft claws? I have tried keeping him busy with toys and games, he got the first set off when we left him to go out shortly after putting them on (he ended up with one left on each foot), I thought it was becuase I didnt put enough glue on them.

I thought today I would try again so while he was sleeping I put on some more with lots of glue this time!! He did wake up but he was sleepy and I confused him by petting him after I put on each soft claw.

Do you think he will be able to chew them off? I have seen him attempt to do this several times since I put them on.

We are shut in the office together at the moment because I have just mopped the floors and I dont want paw prints on my wet/drying floors, so I am able to watch him at the moment.

Although for the last three minutes the Apartment complex gardener has been cutting the grass and thats been keeping Mellow amused lol!

Are you stopping him from doing it while it sets? After 5 or 10 minutes he shouldn't be able to get them off as long as enough glue is used.

ok they didnt bother him for that initial setting period as he was half asleep, so I guess its ok then as they have been on a while, I was just nervous as he got the last ones off, I deffinatly used a ton more glue this time!
Thank you

Curious. I'm considering trying these on Wickett because poor Frankie has a few scratches on her nose from him and he has the advantage in several ways over her. I'd never declaw him but I need to do something to even the playing field since he weighs 16 lbs, has thick fur and nails where as Frankie is only 12 lbs, declawed and a short hair. When they "bicker" and it breaks into somtehing worse Frankie usualy ends up scratched... she's still alpha though!
