I just got two new kittens and I also have two little girls, 6 and 5. As you can imagine, my girls just love them and want to play with the kittens all the time. But my girls got scratched, one on her face and I would NEVER declaw, so I looked on the net and stumbled onto Soft Paws. I was highly sceptical that they would work, but lo and behold, my kittens have no idea that their nails have been done!!
I wrapped each of them in a blanket, like a burrito, and Charlie, the boy kitten, actually purred the whole time his were being put on!! Lola, his sister, was a little harder. She squirmed and hollered the whole time, but I did eventually get them on her front paws. I didn't do the back claws on either of them so they could still get a good scratch if they needed to.
They look so cute with their "manicures"!!
I've heard that some cats chew them off, mine haven't yet. They are fairly inexpensive and certainly worth a try!!

My little Munchkin wears them, since she's going to be a therapy cat someday and she does have claws, so I'm acclimating her to them now...and I've used them one time or another on all my cats. Only one of my kitties has issues with them...my little Persian, Yvaine, has figured out how to get them off...she hooks a lower canine tooth under the edge and flips them off, ha! She can get a whole set off in about ten minutes. 
Still, overall I love these things, I always tell people to try them before resorting to declawing.
