Best prices for Soft Claws?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hehe, just for fun I put Soft Claws on 4 of the boys.....they don't need them but they sure look sharp in their blue claws! I think I might keep Scrappy in them always--he's clumsy and like to knead a lot, so having them on him is nice.

I also NEED to keep them on my cousin's cat. He's living with her boyfriend's family and their cat is de-clawed, and I'm afraid they're going to make her de-claw him if he scratches anything.

So where do you find the best prices? I bought mine from http://www.carealotpets.com/Products...ts__7308B.aspx and http://www.petedge.com/product/Felin...-Kit/43725.uts ---they're the best prices I've found, but the color selection isn't much. I want some of the fancy colors like they sell on the Soft Paws website. I remember once someone posted a link to a site that sold all the colors, and the prices were pretty good. I think it may have had some bulk packs as well.

I buy mine at Amazon... It seems more expensive at first, BUT: your site charges $8.73 in shipping, plus a service charge of $6.99 for orders under $60.00 so, if you buy one set at $12.99, you end up paying $28.71!
Even without that fee, it still ends up more expensive because of the shipping charges.

Here is where I buy mine: Soft Claws Blue, Medium

The best price I've seen for an individual package of soft claws is from thecatandkittenstore - they have a lot of colors to choose from, too. If you plan to buy several packs at a time, though, the two sites you posted have slightly better prices.

Petsmart sell knock off ones in store for cheaper than Soft Claws if you can get to a petsmart. I actually prefer them to the 'real' ones. The color selection leaves something to be desired but having both a girl and a boy cat I can get 2 separate packages one for Attitude and one for Nuts.

Here they are on Amazon, they are called Kitty Caps, these are the ones I got for Attitude.

these are the ones I got Nuts:

Like I said I like these a lot more than Soft Claws, the glue seems stronger and bonds better and it isn't as messy, I didn't get glue on their foot fur. Attitude has Maine coon tufts on her feet which stick out(not mention copious amounts of fur on the bottom of her feet, but that doesn't matter) so getting caps on her claws is more difficult than your average cat. This isn't Attitude but if you look at the paws this is what I come up against getting caps on her claws, a lot of fur.

Nuts, while same as Attitude(they are siblings) has a DSH coat with no tufting so he's easy.

I get larges for them(they are each 10.5 lbs), medium is just too small for them. The larges are for cats 13 lbs and over but they have Maine Coon claws which are larger than normal cats claws(at 12 weeks old(and maybe 4-5 lbs) they wore smalls, kitten size was way too small) I'm patiently trying to wait for the too small medium soft claws to fall off so I can get the proper size Kitty Caps on them. Attitude's come off faster than Nuts(she already has a full paw of the new ones, plus 2 on her other foot.) Nuts has maybe 3 of the now ones on, the rest are the too small soft claws, which need to come off Nuts keeps getting his claws stuck in things. Just thought I'd mention that in case you have a Norwegian Forest cat or Maine Coon or other large boned cat. Attitude and Nuts are 13 months old so I'm not even sure if they'll fit into them eventually(they won't reach full size until around 3, and I can tell they are still growing.)

Like I said the Kitty Caps are less expensive and I prefer them over Soft Claws. They could have better cap colors for boys, but really the navy and gray look great, very classy. I had a harder time getting what I needed since I needed larges and they mostly had smalls and mediums since that is the size every other cat seems to wear except my huge ones.

Here are my 2 large wearing cats(so you have an idea of what cats who wear large look like.):

This is from May Nuts has grown since this(sorry for the crappy quality but this shows how long he, well, was he's longer now):


This is today, he's laying his head on his back feet as well as his front so he looks smaller than he really is:


This is Attitude, she wouldn't cooperate and I had to take her picture while she was behind the end table(this was the best one I could get) She is currently as long as Nuts was when I snapped the picture of him stretched out in May, obviously she's a little smaller than Nuts who is a he:


My signature picture is old, they would have been maybe a small sized cap when that was taken, back when they first came inside.
