well since we are at almost 2 weeks & I have only had one that needed to be reglued I just placed a large order. I bought each of them a box of thier own color. There was a site that they were $15.99 a pkg & I got a $4 discount for ordering that many pkgs. I figure it saves me about $5 - $6 for the 4 pkgs.

Im so glad I found this site I was under the impression these things were like 100 bucks a mth and could only get them at a groomers or vet...This could potentially save my life!!! My BF is anal about his couch and is freaking because GiGi is a mountain climber and is scaling the couch. Im going to order some as soon as I get money on my card for her and Hercules my other scratch...Thanks so much for this info cuz nail trimmings just werent enough for me!!!

I'm glad you found this too. I was reluctant to try them, but finding out that they were not that expensive I decided to give it a try. My cats are good about not scratching things on purpose, but I'm not enjoying when they knead on my arm.

Soft claws updated week 4: Well this Saturday (the 29th) I will have put the soft claws on 4 weeks ago. Here is the current status: Levi & Isaac still have all 10 on & are not at all bothered by them. Jordan has lost 2 I believe it is because his claws grow very fast. I found one of them & there was a layer of claw inside. Maggie, well her royal highness feels she is above soft claws. She has now managed to get off 3. I haven't found any, so I'm hoping she hasn't eaten them. I have seen her pulling at them regularly, so I suspect hers are always going to come off faster. At any rate that is how it stands.

By the way I may need that soft claws calendar to track who needs to have them changed & when.

Well I'm happy to hear you're having good luck with them for the most part. The one with the nail layer inside probably fell off because it's the middle of the nail shedding cycle or whatever you want to call it. The next one should stay on longer if you apply it soon.

If you want, I can PM you my email address and you can email me photos, BF would probably be happy to make personalised Soft Paws Calendars for you. He might even make an integrated one, being the engineer that he is... This week is a busy one, but I'll at least ask him about it.

I finally found one of Maggie's this morning. She now has 4 of them off. The one I found this morning looked Just like the one Jordan had lost. It had part of the claw in it. I know that is what is supposed to happen when the nail sheds. With her I'm probably going to cut the rest off this weekend & put new ones on. I may do the same with Jordan. My grey boys (Levi & Isaac) are just fine.
