Well, my kitty Dinah has an ongoing problem. She kneads... a LOT. I don't mind, because she is doing it because she is happy. But she also has very sharp little claws which leave me scratched to pieces, as well as the couch!! We recently got a new (expensive) comforter for our bed, and she is kneading that now. It is driving my fiance crazy!! He wants to have her declawed like his cat, but there is no way I'm letting that happen!
Honestly, though, it's getting a little out of hand. She's ripping up everything in the darn house with her sharp claws.
I've tried cutting them, but it only helps with scratching me, not with scratching the furniture up. So I'm wondering about soft claws! Here are a few questions:
1. Should I get small, medium, or large?
2. Do they stay on well for particularly active cats?
3. Will they prevent threads being ripped from our comforter, which is made of very soft fabric?
4. Are they a huge pain in the butt to get on?
5. Can my cat still scratch her scratching post easily? Will it be uncomfortable in any way?
Also...
My other cat just flat-out scratches furniture. On purpose. How can I make him stop?! I've bought scratching post after scratching post, sprayed various things on the sofa, and I've even tried squirting him with water. I've tried double-sided tape, but it just pulls loose threads from the sofa even more, and he finds another part of the sofa to scratch. Honestly, I can't very well cover the ENTIRE sofa with tape. There's no way to put soft claws on him OR cut his nails... he weighs 27 pounds and is really skiddish... he won't let anyone hold him for that long. What can I do???
Thanks everyone!
